What are the responsibilities of a supply chain under ISO 14001?
Under ISO 14001, the supply chain plays a crucial role in supporting an organisation’s environmental management system. While the standard primarily focuses on the organisation itself, it also emphasises the importance of considering the environmental performance of suppliers and contractors.
It is important that companies understand and manage the environmental impact of their supply chain activities. This involves the assessment of how suppliers’ operations affect the environment and ensuring that they align with their environmental goals.
Supplier Accountability
Companies are encouraged to set environmental requirements for suppliers, such as:
- Adhering to environmental laws and regulations
- Implementing their own EMS
- Reducing emissions, waste, and resource consumption
- Risk management
ISO 14001 helps organisations to identify and mitigate environmental risks within their supply chains. This includes evaluating potential environmental hazards from suppliers and taking steps to prevent or minimise them.
