ISO 14001:2015 is intended for use by an organization seeking to manage its environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner that contributes to the environmental pillar of sustainability.

ISO 14001:2015 helps an organization achieve the intended outcomes of its environmental management system, which provides value for the environment, the organization itself and interested parties. Consistent with the organization's environmental policy, the intended outcomes of an environmental management system include:

enhancement of environmental performance,
fulfillment of compliance obligations,
achievement of environmental objectives.

ISO 14001:2015 does not state specific environmental performance criteria.

ISO 14001:2015 can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve environmental management. Claims of conformity to ISO 14001:2015, however, are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an organization's environmental management system and fulfilled without exclusion.

HACCP

What is HACCP?

Hazard analysis critical control point (HACCP) is an internationally recognized system aimed at food safety management.

A HACCP system requires that potential hazards are identified and controlled at specific points in the process. This includes biological, chemical or physical hazards. Any company in food chain whether involved in the manufacturing, processing or handling of food products can use HACCP to manage theses hazards.

The 7 principles

hazard analysis
identify the critical points
establish critical limits
establish monitoring procedures
establish corrective actions
establish record keeping
establish verification procedures

The benefits of HACCP certification

Although the main goal of HACCP is food protection, there are other benefits acquired through HACCP implementation and certification, such as:

enhanced customer and consumer confidence
reduced costs through the reduction of product losses and rework
reduced risks of recalls and product withdrawals, thus reducing costs associated with insurance and business liability protection
simplified inspections primarily because of record keeping and documentation
enhanced consistency in the quality of the product
legal compliance

ISO 22301:2012

What is business continuity management and ISO 22301:2012?

Business continuity management involves the recovery or continuation of business activities in the event of any business disruption. The overall BCM programme must be managed through activities such as scoping, risk evaluation, business continuity strategy, business continuity objectives, development planning, training, exercises, testing, reviewing and continual development. Even if an organization has never experienced a serious incident, establishing a BCMS, built on ISO 22301, helps to define key business processes and the disruption that could result from any threats.
ISO 22301 provides a comprehensive set of controls based on BCM best practice, covering the whole BCM lifecycle.

It defines the strategic and tactical capability of an organization to plan for and respond to incidents and business
disruptions in order to continue business operations at an acceptable pre-defined level. The standard is generic and offers organizations guidance on putting their BCM systems in place. An organization can prepare for the worst and take steps to improve its resilience. The BCMS should also include risk assessment (RA) and business impact
analysis (BIA), which are an inherent part of ISO 22301 and an essential component to identifying prioritized
activities, dependencies and resources supporting their key products and services, as well as what the impact of
their failure would be to the organization.

The benefits of ISO 22301:2012 certification to your organization

The ISO 22301 certification will help improve any business by ensuring planned, effective BCM at all levels, including:

organisation-wide identification and understanding of critical business processes and the impact of disruption
increased levels of resilience and recovery capability, and the continued survival of the organization
advantage gained over less resilient competitors
positive message communicated to the media and stakeholders in crisis conditions
improved risk profile in the minds of insurers, resulting in reduced insurance premiums
compliance with the expectations of regulators, insurers, business partners and other key stakeholders
significantly reduced financial impact of incidents, disruption or even under disaster

reputation maintained, or even improved, by demonstrating a professional approach to managing disruption
