Daily business operations and decisions can have a detrimental impact on the environment. With increased globalisation, both government and society are advocating for stricter environmental protections, transparency and the accountability of businesses and their people.
In Australia and many countries abroad, environmental protection is a legal requirement that all businesses must meet. These requirements are often confusing and challenging, especially for small to medium organisations with little or no environmental expertise.

An ISO 14001 Environmental Management System is an internally recognised framework that sets out the requirements that your organisation can implement to better manage your environmental obligations, the negative impacts from your operations and protect the environment.
It aims to help your organisation contribute to protecting the environment, by demonstrating your commitment to environmental responsibility through best-practice environmental management, and a systematic approach towards minimising the environmental impacts, risks and hazards caused by your business.
