Environment is another field by which ISO has developed an all-round standard to help businesses and industries in running environment friendly businesses. ISO 14001 certification portrays your business as environmentally responsible, winning you rapport, recognition in the market and new business opportunities. It helps you demonstrate how focused you are to reducing your environmental impacts and to meet stakeholder expectations of sustainability at the same time. The ISO 14000 family deals with the different factors of environmental issues which include ISO 14001 certification (gives the requirement for EMS) and ISO 14002 (gives the basic guidelines for EMS). The current environment standard by ISO is ISO 14001:2015 which is updated after ISO 14001:2008.

The ISO 14001 standard aims to reduce the waste of businesses as well as to diminish the pollution resulting from their operations. ISO 14001 certification has many standards that deal with specific environmental issues. It is constructed with a purpose to devise a structure whereby companies can form a strategic approach, plan and action to tackle its environmental policy.

The basic principles of ISO 14001 certification are based on the known PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle. The organizations review and plan their processes that may interact with the environment. Thereafter the organization identifies the resources required and works out those members of the organization responsible for EMS' implementation and control. Then the processes are monitored/ checked and accordingly actions are taken.

ISO 14001 was constructed to help companies and businesses with a framework for better management control, that can result in decreasing their environmental impacts or effects. The organization with ISO 14001 certification can reap a thousand benefits along with improvements in performance. Businesses with ISO 14001 certification can have larger economic profits, including higher conformance with legislative and regulatory requirements. Reduction in waste, consumption of resources, and operating cost are some other benefits.

The use of ISO 14001 certification can demonstrate an innovative and forward-thinking approach to customers and prospective employees. It can increase a business’s access to new customers and business partners. In some markets it can potentially reduce public liability insurance costs. It can also serve to reduce trade barriers between registered businesses. There is growing interest in including certification to ISO 14001 in tenders for public-private partnerships for infrastructure renewal. Evidence of value in terms of environmental quality and benefit to the taxpayer has been shown in many projects in India.
