ISO 14001:2015 (EMS)

Environmental Management System

ISO 14001:2015 (EMS) is based on the plan-do-check-act methodology and provides a process-based approach to documenting and reviewing the structure, responsibilities, and procedures in the organisation, which are required to achieve effective quality management.

BS EN ISO 14001:2015 (EMS) focuses on a continual improvement, process-based approach that supports the effective management of your business. This enables you to meet customers' requirements through an efficient, effective environmental management system.

When you implement a system aligned to the BS EN ISO 14001:2015 (EMS) requirements, you will join over a million organisations globally who have improved their businesses. ISO 14001:2015 (EMS) will help you to continually monitor and manage quality across your business so you can identify areas for improvement and increase profit margins.

How is ISO 14001:2015 (EMS) Different to Other Standards?

ISO 14001:2015 (EMS) requirements are in line with the ISO 9001:2015 standards as they apply to all sizes, shapes and types of companies and operations. They both require companies to state what they do, do what they state and evaluate their systems.

However, analysis shows that the ISO 14001:2015 (EMS) series will impact companies more than ISO 9001.

Customers are expected to be asking their suppliers and contractors to have ISO 14001:2015 (EMS) certification, much the way they ask for ISO 9001 certification. This is to guarantee a commitment to high-quality trade and environmental standards.

What Do I Need to Do?

Top management are to determine their environmental objectives and strategic plan for the business. It is essential that your team are committed to implementing an effective EMS as everyone will be pivotal to success. With your implementation team, and support from Clear Quality, you will create a environmental quality manual in line with your EMS business objectives. Documented procedures and records required will be created to control an effective quality management system bespoke to your scope of services:

  • A documented system will be created to control approval, distribution, revision, and storage. These should be easy to operate and follow, yet sufficient to meet the requirements of the ISO 14001:2015 (EMS) standards.
  • You will demonstrate a clear process and set of procedures to ensure compliance is consistent.
  • EMS Objectives and targets will be documented and consistent with the business strategic direction, including continual improvement and risk-based thinking.
  • Relevant documentation should be made easily available and useable in either print or electronic version and communicated throughout your business.
  • Throughout the process, internal audits will take place to confirm process effectiveness and compliance to the international standards.
  • Continual improvement of the effectiveness of the EMS must be followed on a continuous basis to confirm suitability.
