Global Green Standards: ISO 14000 and Sustainable Development

The International Institute for Sustainable Development produced this primer on ISO 14000 standards that is, in a word, comprehensive. Its writers have researched and described everything you ever wanted to know, and probably more, about ISO 14000. Discover how it started, who writes international standards, and which EMS initiatives are related to the system.

In an effort to promote ISO 14000 as a tool for putting global sustainable-development goals into practice, the report lays out the benefits of the standard for companies. The 106-page report also offers an overview of environmental management systems and environmental auditing, discussions of the benefits of environmental labeling and life-cycle assessment, and an examination of the application of voluntary standards in developing countries. Published in 1996.
