ISO 14001

ISO 14001 – Environmental Management Systems (EMS)

ISO 14001 is the internationally recognized standard for Environmental Management Systems (EMS). It defines requirements for businesses aiming to reduce their environmental impact, comply with legal regulations, and establish a sustainable corporate strategy.

An environmental management system based on ISO 14001 helps companies optimize their ecological processes, improve energy efficiency, and reduce resource consumption. Businesses benefit not only from an enhanced environmental reputation but also from cost savings and a stronger market position.

ISO 14001 is applicable across all industries and is suitable for organizations of any size – from small businesses to multinational corporations. In many sectors, the certification is a key criterion for business partnerships, supply chains, and public tenders.
