Environmental management systems — Requirements with guidance for use

Abstract

This document specifies the requirements for an environmental management system that an organization
can use to enhance its environmental performance. It is intended for use by an organization seeking to
manage its environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner that contributes to the environmental
pillar of sustainability.
This document helps an organization to achieve the intended outcomes of its environmental management
system, which provide value for the environment, the organization itself and interested parties. The
intended outcomes of an environmental management system include:
— enhancing environmental performance;
— meeting compliance obligations;
— achieving environmental objectives.
This document is applicable to any organization, regardless of size, type or nature, and applies to the
environmental aspects of its activities, products and services that the organization determines it can either
control or influence considering a life cycle perspective. This document does not state specific environmental
performance criteria.
This document can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve environmental management. Claims
of conformity to this document, however, are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated
into an organization’s environmental management system and fulfilled without exclusion.
