Overview

What is ISO 14001:2015?

ISO 14001:2015 sets out the requirements for an environmental management system that an organisation can use to enhance its environmental performance, fulfil compliance obligations and achieve its environmental objectives.

It applies to the environmental aspects of your activities, products and services that you can control or influence — considered from a full life-cycle perspective.

FAQ

Common questions

Can ISO 14001 be integrated with ISO 9001?

Yes. Both use the Annex SL high-level structure, so GRS can run a combined audit and reduce your total audit days.

Do we need to be zero-emission to certify?

No. The standard requires a system for managing and continually improving environmental performance, not a fixed level of it.

What does certification cost?

Fees depend on scope, headcount and site count. Combined audits with other standards materially reduce cost.
