ISO 14001 Drivers

Monday, August 16, 2010 by August Mack Environmental, Inc.

Since ISO 14001 is a voluntary program, companies tend to choose to participate or not participate based on internal or external driving factors. Some of the drivers for a facility to become ISO 14001 include the following:

  • Corporate Policy
  • Regulatory Expectations
    • Anticipated Benefits
    • Improved Compliance
  • Cost Reductions
  • Market Focus
    • Customer Requirements
    • Public Relations Pressures
Before implementing the ISO 14001 certification process at your company, stop to ask what factors are driving your certification. Knowing the driving factors for certification can be very beneficial when upper level management question the time, money and resources spent on achieving the voluntary certification.
