What Is ISO ISO 14001:2015
The new version of ISO 14001 focuses on improving environmental performance rather than improving the management system itself. It also includes several new updates all aimed at making environmental management more comprehensive and relevant to the supply chain. One major update calls for organizations to consider environmental impacts over the entire life cycle, although there is no requirement to actually complete a life cycle analysis. In addition, top management commitment and compliance evaluation methods have also been strengthened. Another significant change relates ISO 14001 to the general management system structure, introduced in 2015, which is called the High-Level Structure.
Companies that have implemented ISO 14001 will receive ISO 14001 awards from international agencies. The validity period of the award is 3 years and annually will be audited by the appointed agency to reassess the consistency of its implementation.
