ISO 14001 Documentation: EMS

ISO 14001 is an Environmental Management System and is an internationally accepted standard. This standard not only helps your organization in guiding how to consider your business procurement so that it reduces its impact on the environment but also encourages you to reduce waste, improve resources and minimize waste management costs.

ISO 14001 Documentation helps organizations to understand what was planned and how much of it has been implemented and completed by keeping the environment in mind. The organization’s EMS should include required documented information determined by ISO 14001:2015 and also provide documents determined by the organization as important for the effectiveness of the EMS. Basically, ISO 14001 Documentation is any information required by the internal or external parties involved in maintaining and controlling the workings of the organization in accordance with standards.

• It makes crucial information available to external parties
• Helps organizations to analyze and upgrade the latitude of the EMS
• Let registrars to audit the EMS
• Helps estimate the EMS performance

ISO 14001 Documentation may differ depending on:

• Organization’s activities
• Organization’s size
• Processes in which the organization is involved
• Products and Services it deals in
• Competence of staff
• Complexity of the organization

If the organization wants to act in accordance with ISO 14001:2015, here are some documents needed to be produced:

• Scope of the EMS (clause 4.3)
• Environmental Policy (clause 5.2)
• Risk and Opportunities to be Addressed and Processes Needed (clause 6.1.1)
• Evaluation of Significant Environmental Aspects (clause 6.1.2)
• Environmental Aspects and Impacts (clause 6.1.2)
• Significant Environmental Aspects (clause 6.1.2)
• Compliance Obligations Document (clause 6.1.3)
• Environmental Objectives and Plans for Achieving Them (clause 6.2)
• Operational Control (clause 8.1)
• Emergency Preparedness and Response (clause 8.2)

And these are the mandatory records if organizations want to act in accordance with ISO 14001:2015

• Records of Training, Skills, Experience, and Qualifications (clause 7.2)
• Evidence of Communication (clause 7.4)
• Monitoring and Measurement Results (clause 9.1.1)
• Evidence of records of the Compliance Evaluation (clause 9.1.2)
• Internal Audit Program (clause 9.2)
• Results of Internal Audits (clause 9.2)
• Results of the Management Review (clause 9.3)
• Results of Corrective Actions (clause 10.2)

From schools to NGOs, from rural sectors to urban, and from the working class to world leaders, we have been noticing environmental awareness everywhere and it’s the need of the time. Without a healthy environment, there will be no lives blooming on earth. Regardless of the organization’s operation, there are areas where the impact on the natural environment can be improved, and Implementing ISO 14001 Certification helps your organization in cooperating with the environment positively by reducing the environmental impacts of your activities and achieving the associated financial and stakeholder benefits. The certification is broad enough to provide the framework for implementing relevant sustainable practices to offer significant benefits to organizations in any industry or sector without harming the ecosystem. It is the responsibility of organizations to develop a healthy business and environment for this generation where the coming generations shall enjoy the same.
