Tried-and-Tested Management Framework
It is much easier to achieve greater success in an organisation, or indeed in any part of an organisation, when there is a consistent and proven framework to follow. ISO 14001:2015 provides such a framework, giving organisations a proven method by which they can adhere to the principles of good environmental management.
Making the decision to focus on environmental improvement is a big one for any organisation, regardless of its size and structure. However, once the decision is made, it is vital to ensure that such steps receive the full support of the senior management team and the organisation from the outset, and that the initial implementation stages are taken in the most positive way possible.
This can be made significantly easier by adopting a tried and tested environmental management system such as ISO 14001. Implementing this internationally recognised standard is not simply a case of adopting a one-size-fits-all framework. Rather, it provides the opportunity to adopt a highly successful framework that can be adjusted and tweaked to suit the individual needs of an organisation and the environment or market place in which it operates. This holds true whether the organisation is large or small, is in its early stages or has been established for several years.
An EMS Tailored to Meet Your Needs
ISO 14001:2015 offers excellent flexibility and can also be adjusted to suit the type and style of organisation and the sector it operates in. Furthermore, there is always the flexibility to make additional adjustments in the future if it should expand, contract, offer new services or products or change in any other way.
With such a solid framework in place courtesy of ISO 14001, any organisation can ensure that changes to its environmental practices can be made at any time if required. Regular reviews along with more detailed audits of the environmental management system and how it is working will ensure only the most effective improvements are made in the future to the benefit of the organisation, employees, wider stakeholders and the environment.
The benefits of an effective, well managed environmental management system can be significant to any organisation, especially if there is real commitment to its ongoing success at all levels.
