Why is ISO 14001 so important?
ISO 14001 is a great international standard for defining and managing the environmental issues of your organization or an organization that you're involved with.
It has a great process to identify stakeholders, identify the environmental issues that those stakeholders might be concerned with, have the organization internally develop a performance dashboard to track your environmental performance. This will allow you to map out plans, tasks and to-do lists for people to follow to then benchmark that environmental performance and improve it into the future.
