Summary
In view of the internationally and nationally recognised environmental problems and the existing high explosiveness of this topic in society, a prudent environmental commitment is valuable for all companies today from an ecological, economic and social point of view. One advantage of the standard is that it can be applied to organisations of all types and sizes and to different geographical, cultural, social and ecological conditions.
The ever-increasing pressure from relevant interested parties (investors, customers, employees, society, politics, etc.) on sustainability and the constantly changing environmental regulations create challenges for which a management system offers the ideal platform for efficient and effective processing and verification. Those who implement ISO 14001 fulfil SDGs 6, 7, 12, 13, 14 and 15 (SDG = Sustainable Development Goals - The United Nations).
If different management systems for quality, energy efficiency, occupational health and safety, etc.) are implemented and realised in an integrated management system (IMS), synergies can be exploited.
Environmental management is therefore the systematic and continuous planning and implementation of environmental measures to reduce the adverse environmental impact of the company's activities and products - in compliance with the relevant binding obligations, as well as the communication of environmental information to relevant interested parties to build trust, taking into account the specific situation of the company and the cost-effectiveness of the measures.
