Everyone love a winner…so goes the saying.
From the statistics for the sales of ISO 14001 and the worldwide interest in environmental management systems (EMS), you could say that “Everyone loves ISO 14001”.
What of ISO 14004, which receives only a fraction of recognition from all the many organisations which develop an EMS, yet the guidance in ISO 14004 provides much needed clarification into the requirements of ISO 14001 and provides guidance into supporting techniques that can enhance an EMS.
Next time you have a problem understanding the requirements of ISO 14001 or looking for inspiration, try looking at ISO 14004 – You will not regret it!
