Benefits of ISO  14 001 Quality Management System :

ISO 14001 is the code for environmental management system certification. The ISO 14001 series standards are environmental management system standards formulated by the International Organization for Standardization. It is formulated in response to the increasing serious global environmental pollution and ecological damage, major environmental problems such as ozone layer destruction, global climate warming, and the disappearance of biodiversity, which threaten the future survival and development of mankind, in line with the needs of international environmental protection and in accordance with the needs of international economic and trade development.

The ISO14001 series standard is an international standard drafted by the International Organization for Standardization ISO/TC207. ISO14001 is a series of environmental management standards, which includes many focus issues in the international environmental management field such as environmental management systems, environmental audits, environmental markings, life cycle analysis, etc., and aims to guide various organizations (enterprises, companies) to achieve correct environmental behavior.

Having a well-defined Energy Management System (EMS) framework will provide your organization with a systematic approach to compliance. In some cases, regulators are more flexible with companies with a record of performance and public responsibility.

In addition, officials from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) said certification may result in a decrease in the number of checks required to obtain a license. In exceptional circumstances, the EPA has reduced fines under conditions of better investment in financial resources, including compliance with ISO 14001 standards.

Through the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), ISO 14001 is expected to become a prerequisite for conducting business around the world.
