Integrated management systems: benefits & best practices

ISO standards have a harmonized structure and shared terms and definitions, which are designed to make it easier for organizations to implement and integrate management systems in a logical way that reduces duplication and improves effectiveness in each area.

The commonalities between the most popular management systems standards, such as ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management, and the occupational health and safety standard, ISO 45001, make integration an attractive option for many organizations. However, the sky is the limit and multiple integrations are possible, whether that’s information security, business continuity, energy management or more depending on the priorities for your organization!
