What does ISO 14001 mean?
ISO 14001 is an internationally recognized standard for environmental management systems. It outlines requirements for companies and organizations that wish to systematically manage, evaluate, and improve their environmentally relevant processes.
The focus is on a structured approach to environmental aspects: What impacts do operational processes have? How can resources be used efficiently? How can environmental goals be defined, tracked, and further developed?
For IQUL, this certification is important proof that environmental management is not merely a stated goal, but is embedded in the organization and regularly reviewed.
Why Certification Is Important for IQUL
