ISO 14055-1:2017 Environmental management is a standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It provides a framework for organizations to develop and implement an environmental management system (EMS) to ensure sustainability of their operations.

The standard is divided into two parts. Part 1 establishes the requirements for the design, implementation, and operation of an environmental management system. This part outlines the overall structure and content of an effective EMS, including the scope of the EMS, environmental policy, environmental objectives and targets, environmental management program, environmental performance evaluation, and other related aspects.

Part 2 focuses on the implementation of the EMS. It provides guidance on how to identify, assess, and manage environmental aspects, determine environmental objectives and targets, and document and communicate the EMS. It also includes requirements for records management, emergency preparedness and response, and management review.

The key benefits of ISO 14055-1:2017 include better environmental performance, improved risk management, and increased organizational efficiency. An effective EMS can help organizations identify, measure, and improve their environmental performance, reduce their environmental risks, and save money in the long run. It can also demonstrate the organization's commitment to environmental protection and help them meet legal and regulatory requirements.

ISO 14055-1:2017 is applicable to all types of organizations, regardless of size, sector, or location. It can be used for developing an EMS for a single site, a single process, or a complete organization. This makes it an attractive option for organizations looking to establish a comprehensive EMS.

ISO 14055-1:2017 is a valuable tool for organizations looking to improve their environmental performance and gain a competitive edge. By implementing an effective EMS, organizations can ensure that their operations are sustainable and compliant with legal and regulatory requirements.
