Consultant Development in Environmental Management Systems Based on ISO 14001:2015 Standard
Under ISO/IEC 17024:2012 Person Certification Scheme
Why has the EMS become the need of hour?
Environmental management becomes necessary because of the impact created by human beings due to different activities. Today most organizations also consider environmental management a business necessity because it helps businesses be good stewards of their resources, which ultimately results in lower operating costs and minimize the pollution.
ISO 14001 is the most practiced tool in the world that sets out the criteria for an environmental management system (EMS) and can be certified. It maps out a framework that a company or organization can follow to set up an effective EMS. ISO 14001 is designed for any type of organization, regardless of its activity or sector, it can provide assurance to company management and employees as well as external stakeholders that environmental impact is being measured and improved. The latest standard ISO 14001:2015 responds to the newest trends, such as an increasing recognition by companies of the need to factor in both external and internal elements that influence their impact, including climate volatility.
