Utilizing an environmental management system (EMS) enhances the efficient management of resources. The ISO 14001 standard, being a generic EMS, is applicable to organizations of any size and across all sectors, encompassing manufacturing and service firms in both public and private domains. This standard provides tools to mitigate the environmental impact of internal processes as well as those within the supply chain. It aids in reducing costs associated with resource, energy, and waste management. Additionally, adherence to environmental legislation is ensured, and a public demonstration of commitment to environmental protection is achieved.
