In order to remain competitive in the global marketplace,
many companies are setting goals to establish an EMS that conforms to ISO 14000
guidelines.
This management system improves the environmental aspects of a company's activities, products
and services, and sets the framework for continual improvement of environmental performance.
With growing interest in buying "green," this demonstration of a company's commitment to reducing
their impacts on the environment gains them an edge in the marketplace, ranging from reducing
operating expenses and meeting customer requirements to improved corporate image.
Besides the environmental improvements and clear market advantage, there are numerous
benefits to certification. ISO 14000 compliant companies may realize the following:
 Saving operational cost through environmental programs
Reduced cost of waste management
Less downtime through more careful monitoring and maintenance
More environmental friendly operation and management
More efficient resource use
Improved corporate image
Higher product re-sale and scrap value
Lowered environmental risk exposure results in reduced insurance cost
