Environmental, health and safety (EH&S) management systems go hand in hand to deliver performance benefits and improved risk reduction strategies to your organization. ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems) is a management tool enabling an organization of any size or type to identify and control the environmental impact of its activities, products or services; improve its environmental performance continually and implement a systematic approach to setting environmental objectives and targets to achieve these goals and to demonstrate that they have been met. ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems) is a proposed new international standard for occupational health and safety (OH&S), providing a framework for managing the prevention of death, work-related injury and ill health, with the intended outcome of improving and providing a safe and healthy workplace for workers and persons under an organization’s control. The ISO 50001 energy management system (EnMS) standard helps organizations establish systems and processes necessary to improve energy performance and potentially reduce energy costs.  Combined, these systems help a company meet the 3 pillars of sustainability: social, environmental & economic.
