ISO 14001 – Environmental Management System

Projects carried out currently and in upcoming years need to pay more attention to proper environmental management. This international standard emphasizes the need for companies and projects to implement necessary environmental management systems to protect the environment and to ensure reduced land, water, air and noise pollution.

Some of the salient features of this standard require the projects to establish the following documents relevant to the project/organization, which will help in achieving a good environmental management system for its operations:

1. Environmental policy
2. Environmental objectives (KPIs)
3. Environmental management plan
4. Environmental procedures
5. Operational control
6. Aspects and impacts identification/mitigation
7. Compliance to legal and statutory requirements
8. Top management commitment
9. Continuous improvement
