ISO 14001:2015

Why ISO 14001:2015?

In order to follow the “High Level Structure” to facilitate identical structure for all the management systems as well as the consistent use of core texts and terms. This will make the standards more comprehensible and combined certifications more efficient.

The new version will include a requirement to understand the organization’s context in order to better manage risk, with more emphasis made on leaders within organizations to promote environmental management. In addition there will be a shift towards improving environmental performance rather than improving the management system.
