Environmental Management System - A Balance between economy and ecology For any organization to build their company philosophy on an active environmental management while documenting their environmental activities. Since its publication in 1996, more than 300,000 organizations world-wide have an implemented and certified management system according to ISO 14001. This increasing popularity demonstrates that any organization or business sector can benefit from the positive impact. Due to their own positive experiences, many ISO 14001 certified companies are asking their suppliers for this kind of certification in turn, particularly in the area of automotive OEM. On account of the standard’s
compatibility with ISO 9001 [QMS], an increasing number of
organizations choose to implement integrated management systems, in order to
take advantage of the synergies. Environmental, quality, and occupational
health and safety management systems (ISO 45001 under final Draft) are fundamental tools of
corporate management; their use demonstrates acceptance of responsibility, and
the intention to prevent the waste of resources.
