AS/NZS ISO 14001:2016

Environmental management systems - Requirements with guidance for use

Specifies the requirements for an environmental management system that an organization can use to enhance its environmental performance. It is intended for use by an organization seeking to manage its environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner that contributes to the environmental pillar of sustainability. This standard helps an organization achieve the intended outcomes of its environmental management system, which provide value for the environment, the organization itself and interested parties. This standard is applicable to any organization, regardless of size, type and nature, and applies to the environmental aspects of its activities, products and services that the organization determines it can either control or influence considering a life cycle perspective. ISO 14001:2015 does not state specific environmental performance criteria. It can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve environmental management. Claims of conformity to this standard, however, are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into the environmental management system and fulfilled without exclusion. Identical to, and reproduced from, ISO 14001:2015.
