Introduction
Implementing ISO 14001:2015 requires dedicated resources and time. Most organizations are continually seeking out ways to reduce expenses and improve the bottom line. Successful implementation of an ISO 14001:2015 compliant Environmental Management System can enable your organization to identify risk relating to possible non-conformances and reduce or prevent costly environmental incidents. Consumers and other companies are more environmentally conscious than at any previous time in history. Organizations and consumers are more concerned about the environmental practices of the companies that supply their materials, parts or subassemblies. Establishing a robust and effective Environmental Management System is a powerful way to demonstrate your organization’s commitment to managing your environmental impact. This can also enhance your image, increase your brand equity and potentially improve your market share.
