ISO 14001 Revisions
˃ Increased prominence of environmental management in
strategic planning processes;
˃ Greater input from leadership; and
˃ Stronger commitment to proactive initiatives that boost
environmental performance.
˃ Implementation of proactive initiatives to including
sustainable resource use and climate change mitigation
˃ A focus on life-cycle thinking
˃ The addition of a stakeholder-focused communication
strategy
ISO TC 207/SC1Mission Statement
We are responsible for standardization in the field of environmental management systems to support the achievement of ‘sustainability’.
Our focus is to develop and maintain standards in the field of environmental management systems that meet stakeholder needs, are market based and support ‘sustainability’.
We are recognized as the world leader in the development of environmental management system standards that supports ‘sustainability’.
Our standards are recognized nationally and internationally by users and other stakeholders as the EMS standards of choice.
Key ISO 14001 Thematic ChangesArea More emphasis compared to current version of ISO 14001
Strategic environmental management • Ensuring that environmental issues are addressed in strategic planning
• Integrating the EMS into the site’s business model
Leadership • Increasing accountability among management team
Protecting the environment • Implementing proactive initiatives – P2, sustainable resource use, climate change mitigation, biodiversity
Environmental performance • Improving environmental metrics by establishing measurable performance indicators
• Focusing on outcomes and results• Deploying risk based thinking to reduce impacts
Lifecycle thinking • Examining life cycle impacts of products and services
Communications • Focusing on identifying stakeholder needs & expectations
• Improving outreach to address stakeholder concerns
Documentation • Recognizing the use of electronic systems• Flexibility in establishing procedures to ensure effective

Discussion of Key ISO
14001:2015 Themes
Context of the Organization
Context of the Organization
˃ Concepts from previous Appendix A of ISO 14001:2004
˃ Springboard from which organizations can begin to form and develop an EMS
˃ Involving 4 steps:
#1: Develop a high level conceptual understanding of
key issues
#2: Understand the needs and expectations of
interested parties
#3: Define the EMS scope
#4: Integrate the EMS into various business functions
Benefits of Understanding
Organizational Context˃ Assist with identifying scope of the EMS
˃ Frame EMS objectives
˃ Identify and manage risks and strategies that
can affect achieving the EMS objectives (e.g.,
environmental compliance)
˃ Gain an understanding of how environmental
conditions and issues affect or can be affected
by business strategy
Common Issues for Consideration
Air quality management
Biodiversity & land use
Chemical management
Climate protection
Deforestation
Energy efficiency
Product toxicity
Product packaging & recycling
Renewable energy investment
Waste minimization & P2
Water & ocean impacts
Water scarcity
˃ Impacted by key drivers?
˃ Represent a potential
problem area?
˃ Leverage for beneficial
effect?
˃ Offer competitive
advantage?
˃ Material to stakeholders?

Aspects and Impacts
Aspects and Impacts PurposeISO 14001:2015
˃ Core element of EMS
˃ They define areas to focus
˃ Within the defined scope of its management
system an organization shall define the aspects
of its activities, products and services that it
can control…
˃ Develop objectives and targets to address
significant aspects and impacts

Life Cycle Perspective
Life Cycle Thinking in ISO 14001:2015
˃ ISO 14001:2015
Introduces Life Cycle Thinking as a requisite of the standard
Future standards may include “Life Cycle Assessments”
˃ ISO 14040:2006 and ISO 14044:2006 Standard
Provides a guidance on how to conduct an LCA
Life Cycle Perspective in ISO
14001: 2015ISO 14001:2015 Standard provides a succinct definition
of “Life Cycle Assessment”
A perspective for assessing the environmental aspects
and potential impacts associated with a product including
˃ Compiling an inventory of relative inputs and outputs of a
product system;
˃ Evaluating the potential environmental impacts associated
with those inputs and outputs; and
˃ Interpreting the results of the Inventory Analysis and Impact
Assessment phases
LCA- ISO 14001:2015
LCA - Aspects and Impacts Scorecard
LCA Summary
What is an LCA?
Evaluation of impacts throughout a product’s entire lifespan
including the following steps:
1. Extraction and Processing of
raw materials
2. Design and Production
3. Transportation and Distribution
4. Use and Maintenance
5. Recycling and Disposal
