The ISO 14000 standards reflect the general consensus about current good practices directed toward environmental protection, applicable to any organization anywhere on the globe.

ISO 14000 certification provides managerial tools for organizations to bring their environmental aspects and impacts under control and improve their performance in this area.

A key feature of all ISO 14000 requirements is their voluntary nature, that is, the absence of any legislative compulsion to use them.

In recent years there has been a growing interest in environmental factors on the part of consumers. The certification of one’s production site according to ISO 14000, or the EU EMAS regulation, can therefore represent a competitive advantage over competitors because of the intrinsic guarantees it offers its Customers.
Companies that have implemented the certification program have also been able to see other advantages such as: reduction in resource consumption, simplification of relationships and controls by the public administration, reduction in insurance premiums, easier access to sources of financing, and so on.
