Throughout the world, the pressure on the organizations to demonstrate the performance of their environmental management system and compliance to environmental regulations is increasing. Many major companies now prefer to use suppliers that conduct an environmental management system. By looking at this trend, poor record of environmental performance may become the main obstacle in entering certain market in the future.
The development of ISO 14001 has influenced the importance of environmental management system. Increase of public concerns over industrial impact on enviroment needs to be taken as a consideration for every company. ISO 14001 has to be understood and applied in their company before their competitors gain the market advantages or a litigation is brought against them for the harmful activities on the environment and surrounding community.
Implementing an ISO 14000 based environmental management system will give an organization more than just confidence because this standard complies to various environmental legislation. The systematic approach of ISO 14000 ensures a comprehensive assessment of all areas and activities that affect environment. Genuine implementation of ISO 14001 which is supported by full management commitment will lead to many benefits for an organization. These benefits include cost savings in consumption of energy and materials, reduced cost of waste management, and improved corporate image among regulators, customers and public.
These benenfits could easily be lost if the organizational management is too pre-occupied with managing short term needs. Companies must realize that ISO 14001 standards are the management tools that will help them to achieve a better environmental and financial performance.
