ISO 14000 deals with environmental management system requirements such as documentation, training, auditing, defining environmental aspects and their impact, performance evaluation, life cycle assessments, leadership, and continuous improvement. It is the intention of this standard to protect the earth’s environment while spurring international trade and commerce. The guidelines are intended to be practical, useful, and usable for companies of all sizes in manufacturing and service industries.

What are the benefits of implementing an Environmental Management System?
Implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS) can positively affect your company's bottom line. The Massachusetts DEP has become the first government agency to create a policy deeming EMS implementation as a means for organizations to reduce DEP penalties and fines for environmental violations by up to 50%. Potential savings can amount to millions of dollars in reduced fines and penalties alone. Other savings can approach the same amount, considering waste haulage, resource use reductions, material efficiencies, etc. In addition, you can measure your ongoing positive impact on the environment.

Two of the big three automotive manufacturers have stipulated that their suppliers be ISO 14001 certified, while the third is requiring either that or self-certification.
