About ISO 14001
ISO 14001 is the international standard that specifies the requirements for an effective environmental management system (EMS). It provides a framework that organizations can follow, rather than prescriptive rules, to develop and implement policies and procedures that take into account their own environmental priorities and objectives. An EMS is a set of processes and practices that enable an organization to reduce its environmental impact and increase its operating efficiency. The standard can be applied to any organization, regardless of size, type, or location. SAAS offers ISO 14001 accreditation to certification bodies (CBs) to conduct audits and issue ISO 14001 certificates to companies worldwide.
