ISO 14000 Series Standard
ISO 14000 is a series of environmental management standards developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for organisations.
The ISO 14000 family of standards provides practical tools for companies and organizations of all kinds looking to manage their environmental responsibilities.
The ISO 14000 standards are not designed to aid the enforcement of environmental laws and do not regulate the environmental activities of organizations. Adherence to these standards is voluntary.

• The ISO 14000 family is designed to be implemented according to the same PlanDo-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle underlying all ISO management systems standards. • The ISO 14001 standard is the most important standard within the ISO 14000 series. • The ISO 14001 adopted as Malaysian Standard (MS) in 1997 – MS ISO 14001
What are the objective of ISO 14000? 1)
To result in better environmental management and applicable in all countries;
2)
To encompass environmental environmental aspects of products;
3)
To develop a common language platform for environmental issues, so that businesses, prospective customers, and governments are certain that all organizational level environmental concerns have been addressed;
4)
To promote the broader interests of the public as well as users of these standards;
5)
To be cost-effective, non-prescriptive and flexible so they are able to meet the differing needs of organizations of any type or size, worldwide;

Applicability of ISO 14000
The whole ISO 14000 family of standards provides management tools for organizations to manage their environmental aspects and assess their environmental performance.
these tools can provide significant tangible economic benefits, including the following:a) Reduced raw material/resource use b) Reduced energy consumption c)
Improved process efficiency
d) Reduced waste generation and disposal costs e) Utilization of recoverable resources
Rationale for ISO 14000 Registration a) Is a way of signalling to your buyers, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders that you have implemented the standard properly
b) provide assurance to company management and employees as well as external stakeholders that environmental impact is being measured and improved c)
Encourage better environmental performance of suppliers by integrating them into the organization’s business systems
d) Demonstrate compliance with current and future statutory and regulatory requirements
