Explaining the role of leadership in ISO 14001.
Taking the lead on environmental performance.
ISO 14001 requires top management to understand and engage with your organisation’s environmental management system.
The role of leadership in ISO Annex SL, the high-level structure and common text for all new and revised management system standards, provides organisations with an opportunity to drive business performance.
With Section 5 of Annex SL emphasising the importance of leadership, the organisations that will reap the greatest rewards from ISO 14001 certification are those with forward-thinking top management, who view this as a way to improve their environmental
performance.
