ISO 14000 Family of Standards
ISO 14000 is a series of standards developed by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to help organizations to reduce their impact on the environment.
The core of the ISO 14000 family of standards is ISO 14001:2015, but there are related standards to help you implement, evaluate, and improve your ISO 14001 Environmental Management System.
NOTE: Organizations do not become certified in the ISO 14000 series, they ONLY register to ISO 14001:2015. The other documents will help an organization implement an EMS, audit properly, etc.
