Introduction and Overview Of Our Environmental System

Introduction

International Standards covering environmental management are intended to provide organisations with the elements of an effective environmental management system which can be integrated with other management requirements, to assist organisations to achieve environmental and economic goals.

These Standards, like other International Standards, are not intended to be used to create non-tariff trade barriers or to increase or change an organization’s legal obligations.

The following elements contain a purpose statement, followed by an outline procedure.  The procedure is necessarily generic and may require some adaptation to reflect the true nature of the organisation’s activities and risks. 

Additional procedures, forms and other documents may be required to address specific operational activities, risks or regulatory requirements. 

When customising and developing this template, the current version of the AS/NZS14001 standard should be examined to ensure that these documents comply with the requirements of the standard as applicable to your organisation.
