The Future of ISO 14001

ISO 14001 has the potential to reframe the conduct of environmental management. It has proven to be an elegant document that anticipates the needs of organizations of all sizes and purposes for direction on environmental management.
As ISO 14001 gains credibility as an effective system for managing and improving environmental performance, environmental regulators will be encouraged to accept registration to ISO 14001 in satisfaction of some regulatory administrative requirements and, thus, reduce the burden of compliance for those organizations that are managing their environmental exposures.
Ultimately, the greatest strides in environmental performance improvement and sustainability will come as a consequence of millions of organizations – municipalities, colleges and universities, governmental departments, and property owners and operators as well as industrial corporations – identifying and managing the environmental impacts of their activities, services, and products.
