Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS)
Think globally, act locally ” – the wellknown credo for addressing environmental issues – also expresses the objective of ISO’s many environmental standards.
These standards reflect global consensus on good environmental practice in the international context that can be applied pragmatically by organizations all over the world in their particular situation.
ISO has a two-pronged approach to meeting the needs of all stakeholders from business, industry, governmental authorities and non-governmental organizations, as well as consumers, in the field of the
environment.
An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a framework that allows an organization to consistently control its significant impacts on the environment, reduce the risk of potentially costly pollution incidents, ensure compliance with environmental legislation and continually improve its business operations.(See more ISO 14001.)
