MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

The final official version of ISO 14001:2015, regarding the requirements for environment management systems, has just been published, following the long revision process which has been performed starting with the year 2014. This updated version responds to the latest trends, such as an increasing recognition by companies of the need to factor in both external and internal elements that influence their impact, including climate volatility.

Other key improvements in the new version include:

– A greater commitment from leadership

– An increased alignment with strategic direction

– Greater protection for the environment, with a focus on proactive initiatives

– More effective communication, driven through a communications strategy

– Life-cycle thinking, considering each stage of a product or service, from development to end-of-life

ISO 14001:2015 is currently available from the ISO store (http://www.iso.org/iso/catalogue_detail?csnumber=60857). It will also be available from the national standardization body (ASRO), at a date that will be announced in the near future.

You can read further details on the official ISO website (http://www.iso.org/).
