Environmental Systems / ISO 14001
Quality Management Systems are used by many companies in different industries to identify and manage environmental risks, to demonstrate a commitment to the environment, and many times to enhance their corporate reputation.
In some industries, large organizations are expecting their suppliers to demonstrate environmental reponsibility, and even to maintain a compliant or certified EMS as a condition of doing business.
ISO 14001 Has Been Revised
ISO 14001:2015 was released in late 2015. This revision is intended to ensure that the standard is in line with current thinking, and that Environmental Management Systems are taking advantage of today’s knowledge, technology and practices.
See The BRC’s new ISO 14001:2015 courses below, along with additional 14001:2004 courses to support existing systems.
