Abstract

In order to improve their overall performance, the establishment of an environmental management system has become a must for businesses. These systems also meet the requirements of external parties interested in environmental management. By modifying their management practices to adapt to a complex economic and competitive environment, companies have evolved this environmental management standard since its creation in 1996. The latest version, published in October 2015, adopts the philosophy of previous versions on the predominant place of the customer and integrates new concepts. The issue addressed in this article is to provide assistance to companies wishing to understand the standard and evaluate their Environmental Management System in relation to the specifications of the standard. In order to assist SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprise) in the deployment of ISO14001 version 2015, and after a detail In order to improve their overall performance, the establishment of an environmental management system has become a must for businesses. This is an important opportunity to reorganize their management of the environment, both internally and vis-à-vis external actors. This reorganization is generally motivated by an evolution of the technical strategy for environmental protection, towards integrated management and towards continuous improvement. These systems also meet the requirements of external parties interested in environmental management. By modifying their management practices to adapt to a complex economic and competitive environment, companies have evolved this environmental management standard since its creation in 1996 which has gained decisive international notoriety and importance. The latest version, published in October 2015, adopts the philosophy of previous versions on the predominant place of the customer and integrates new concepts while contributing to improved transparency, increased performance and new opportunities. The issue addressed in this article is to provide assistance to companies wishing to understand the principle of the standard and evaluate their Environmental Management System in relation to the specifications of the standard. In order to assist SMEs in the deployment of ISO14001 version 2015, and after a detailed analysis of the main requirements of this standard, A self-diagnostic tool is developed. It is aimed at companies of all sizes and all sectors of activity, to accompany them in their implementation of ISO14001, prepare them or facilitate their first certification or transition to the 2015 version. And after a detailed analysis of the main requirements of this standard, A self-diagnostic tool is developed.
