Environmental management is more than sorting waste. ISO 14001 helps organisations identify environmental aspects, prioritise significant impacts, monitor legal requirements and improve performance.
Understand aspects and impacts
Energy, water, emissions, waste, chemicals, noise and emergency releases are aspects. Their environmental consequences are the impacts to be assessed and controlled.
Bring controls into operations
Storage, labelling, waste segregation, spill response, maintenance, energy use and supplier activities need clear instructions and evidence.
Plan environmental emergencies with OH&S
A chemical spill, fire water, fuel leak or waste overflow can threaten both people and the environment. Emergency planning should cover response, communication, evacuation, equipment and post-event learning.
Measure what matters
Energy and water intensity, recovery rate, hazardous waste, spills, legal actions and supplier performance can become useful indicators.
