Abstract
The International Organization for Standardization’s (ISO) 14001 EMS standard is the most adopted EMS standard in the world. The ISO 14001 standard was revised in 2015 and organizations that fail to meet the September 2018 deadline could potentially lose their external registration.
The goal of this research is to provide a comprehensive examination of the intent of the new ISO 14001 Standard and to develop a conformance strategy suitable for adoption by select Canadian electrical utilities.
This research identified eight thematic changes that represent fundamental changes to the old Standard; the most significant changes relate to Life Cycle Perspectives and Out Sourced Processes, Environmental Performance Monitoring and Evaluation, and Strategic and Integrated Environmental Management. These eight significant thematic changes were used as the basis for the development of the gap analysis and subsequent conformance strategy.
