ISO 14000 is a family of standards related to environmental management that helps organizations minimize their environmental impact and comply with applicable laws, regulations, and other environmentally oriented requirements. It provides a framework for developing an effective environmental management system (EMS) and ensures continuous improvement in environmental performance. While GRI, ISO 26000, and the United Nations Global Compact provide guidance on broader sustainability and social responsibility, ISO 14000 is specifically designed for managing environmental compliance and regulatory requirements.
