ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System

ISO 14001:2015 is the current edition of the international environmental management system standard, built on the same High-Level Structure used across other management-system standards. One Island's ISO 14001 training in Malaysia helps environmental teams understand the requirements, close gaps against current practice and prepare the records needed for implementation and audit.

Consultancy support can cover scope, aspect-and-impact assessment, compliance obligations, objectives, operational controls, emergency preparedness, internal audits and certification preparation, aimed at a working environmental management system that the team actually uses day to day.

ISO 14001 shares the same High-Level Structure used across other management-system standards, which is why many organisations coordinate it with ISO 9001 quality management or connect environmental data to ESG awareness training and reporting.

 

ISO 14001 2

ISO 14001 and Malaysian Environmental Compliance

An ISO 14001 legal register needs to reflect the obligations that apply to the organisation in Malaysia. This may include the Environmental Quality Act and subsidiary regulations covering scheduled waste, clean air, sewage and industrial effluent, together with site-specific licences and permits.

One Island builds the legal register around the organisation's activities, licences, permits and Department of Environment obligations. The register is then assigned to responsible owners and reviewed through the environmental management system. Organisations that also want to plan for continuity of operations during environmental incidents or other disruptions can review ISO 22301 business continuity management alongside their EMS.
