On September 15, 2015, the final version of the highly concerned ISO 14001:2015 environmental management system standard was officially released. This has epoch-making significance for global environmental protection and environmental management.

As the world's first widely adopted international standard for environmental management systems, ISO 14001 has helped more than 300,000 organizations around the world improve their environmental performance. At present, the standard has undergone the first major revision since its official release in 1996, and the new version of the standard has been officially released. The new version of the standard ensures that it can continue to help organizations improve business processes, save costs and meet future environmental challenges. Environmental experts from more than 70 countries participated in this revision, which incorporates a series of updates designed to help organizations deal with changing business conditions - from climate change to supply chain management.

ISO 14001 provides a framework for organizations to reduce their environmental impact, reduce waste and conserve energy while their business continues to grow. ISO 14001 can also help companies be more innovative, improve management system processes, meet relevant regulatory requirements, and enhance their credibility with investors, customers and the public. Ultimately, this new standard will help businesses keep pace with changes in the environment, ensuring they stay ahead of the curve.

Changes to ISO 14001:2015 include:

1. The new High-Level Structure (HLS) uses terms, definitions, headings and text that are common to all management system standards for easy integration when implementing multiple management systems

2. For senior management, a new opportunity to further ensure that environmental management is integrated into core business processes and objectives

3. Refocus on the risks the organization faces (e.g. price volatility of raw materials) and the opportunities these risks present (higher resource efficiency)

4. New thinking on the organizational environment to help them understand the environment and the impact on the environment, as well as the impact of environmental issues (such as climate change) on the enterprise itself.
