3 minuten leestijd

ISO 14001‑milieumanagement is een begrip binnen de industriële digitalisering en kwaliteitsmanagement & software.

Definitie

ISO 14001-milieumanagement is een internationale standaard voor milieumanagementsystemen (EMS) die organisaties helpt hun milieu-impact te verminderen, regelgeving na te leven en continue verbetering te realiseren op milieugebied. Voor de metaalindustrie biedt het een systematische aanpak voor duurzame productie en resource efficiency.

Kenmerken

  • Environmental Management System: Systematische aanpak voor milieubeheer
  • Life cycle thinking: Milieuimpact assessment door complete product lifecycle
  • Legal compliance: Structured approach voor environmental regulations
  • Risk-based approach: Proactive identification van environmental risks
  • Stakeholder engagement: Communication met internal/external stakeholders
  • Performance monitoring: KPI tracking en environmental metrics
  • Continuous improvement: Ongoing enhancement van environmental performance
  • Integration capability: Alignment met ISO 9001, ISO 45001
