What are the benefits of applying for ISO14001 environmental system certification? Generally speaking, there are two major benefits of implementing ISO14001:

  1. Promote international trade

   From the perspective of promoting trade, ISO14000 is a flexible environmental management system standard. It does not stipulate absolute requirements for environmental performance, except that it requires companies to make commitments to comply with relevant laws, regulations and continuous improvement in their environmental policies. Therefore, two companies engaged in similar activities but with different environmental performance may both meet ISO14000. requirements. At the same time, ISO14000 emphasizes that according to the environmental conditions of the country and the region, it is in line with the environmental protection laws and regulations of the country and the region rather than the country where the export market is located. This reflects the principle of reciprocity in trade and helps to eliminate technical barriers to trade.
