Introduction to ISO 14001:

Environmental policies consistent with group or sector policies are relevant to an organization's
activities. It promises pollution prevention, continual improvement, compliance with applicable laws,
setting environmental goals and targets, and also tells how to make it available to all employees and the
public. Environmental aspects are identified for normal operating conditions, foreseeable deviations and
emergencies. This is documented in the registration of environmental aspects. Procedures exist to
monitor activities that may affect the environment. Calibrate the monitoring device and keep a record.
Management should regularly review environmental policies and goals to ensure that the environmental
management system (EMS) is effective and relevant to the organization's requirements in changing
circumstances.

Project Planning:
Focus on project planning, considering the logic of creating a program that includes efforts from the
initial decision to create an EMS (Environmental Management System) to the successful evaluation
based on ISO (International Organization of Standardization) 14001. This program consists of 11 stages.
This includes appointments, resources, communications, environmental law, environmental aspects and
goals. Management policy, procedure, drafting of manual, implementation, evaluation, evaluator and
evaluator selection. Supplier has a process to comply with all applicable government safety and
environmental regulations, including regulations relating to the handling, recycling, disposal or disposal
of dangerous goods as described in QS 9000. The Acorn project, an experimental study, was jointly
conducted. It was started by BSI (British Standards Institute) and DETR (Department for Environment,
Transport and Regions). In mid-2000, we started to join several large companies and suppliers. The
reason for building an environmental management system is to comply with laws and regulations by
knowing the impact of activities on the environment and taking proactive measures to reduce the
impact.

Checking, Corrective actions and Reviews:

Defines the starting point, measuring environmental impact, calibration and maintenance of measuring
instruments and assessing compliance with relevant environmental legislation. It can happen in a
number of ways, including intentional, unintentional, wrong steps, equipment failure, and unexpected
emergencies where an emergency plan is not drawn up. An environmental management system (EMS)
relates to nonconforming behavior, events or circumstances. Organizations are not permitted to operate
and evolve without management review. All management standards and International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) 14001 require regular review of performance to ensure "continuous stability,
validity and effectiveness".

Internal Environmental Auditing:

Paragraph 4.5.4 of this trend emphasizes that organizations should establish audit plans and audit
methods to ensure that their environmental management devices (EMSs) are performing as intended
and provide feedback on the results. The internal audit process is a very powerful tool for maintaining
and enhancing the performance of an organization. The auditor's choice to format the audit and direct
and record the audit results is very important. To ensure that the audit sketch carries out a complete
evaluation of the entire EMS, it is necessary to establish a schedule, incorporate the steps into the
relevant provisions of the standard, and formulate a plan to address all of them. Condition. The standard
presenting assessment coaching is the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 19011:2002
Quality and EMS Assessment Guidelines. When reviewing environmental activities, auditors want to
understand the system and its impacts and ensure that management is free from bias in manners
themselves. The real motive of the evaluation is to facilitate a dialogue between the rater and the
examinee about what is happening, and it is not possible to present meaningless questions and answers
at this time.

Certification Process:
Although not required, many companies writing environmental management systems (EMS) using the
ISO 14001:2015 specification are considering certifying their systems through an audit by a certification
body. As mentioned in the article Listing ISO 14001 Implementation Stages, the certification audit takes
place after the full implementation is complete. This article explains how the ISO 14001 certification
process works, and the steps you need to follow, as understanding the certification process makes
preparation much easier.

What is certification, and what are the requirements?

After the EMS is implemented, the certification reviews the auditor submission process with the
certification body and ensures that the process meets the requirements of ISO14001. After confirming
that the company's EMS meets the requirements, we will issue a certificate for this. This is a certificate.
If you don't have a business (not recommended) that can't benefit from a certificate just by sticking it on
the wall, finding the right certification authority is important for EMS to provide a substantial benefit to
your business. It is a part. Organization. The three important steps for a successful ISO 14001
certification process are:

Stage 1: Certification Audit:

This is also known as document auditing, during which the certification auditor reviews all documents
you create. This inspection is to ensure that the document meets the requirements of ISO 14001. At the
end of the audit, we will issue a report to identify all nonconformities in the document, such as
inconsistencies with potentially problematic documents, mandatory documents or missing records.
Other points where the document does not meet the requirements of ISO 14001. If you have the correct
certification body, you can also use audits to document and get some tips on best practices for
improvement.

140012015/

Stage 2: Certification Audit:

Here the certification auditors will come and audit all of your EMS processes. This will ensure that the
activities that are actually occurring in your organization meet the requirements of the ISO 14001
standard, as well as the requirements you have defined within your management system. This audit
activity will look at every process, determine what the planned arrangements are for that process, and
then assess what is actually happening in the process. To do this they will interview employees, observe
activities and review records and documentation to collect data.
Once the auditors have confirmed that everything is occurring as planned and meeting ISO 14001, or
any nonconformance that they identify have had corrective action taken, they will issue a certification
stating that your EMS meets the requirements of ISO 14001. When using this certificate, the choice of
certification body can affect how well this news is received by interested parties. If you have chosen a
reputable certification body that is accredited in your area, your certification will be widely received.
It is important to note that the initial certification is only the beginning. The certification process will
continue, at least yearly, to ensure that the EMS is maintained and improving over time. This cycle
(typically over three years) will consist of surveillance audits and full re-certification audits where they
will repeat the audit of the entire management system. The cycle is repeated continuously, making EMS
certification an ongoing effort to help make your EMS processes better.

Pakistan and EMS Protocols:

Greening, Pakistan's industry has become an essential challenge not only to minimize its negative impact
on the environment and society, but also to sustain the growth of its sector. Despite significant growth
over the last few decades, the industrial sector has not yet fully contributed to Pakistan's development.
Economic, environmental and social costs have increased due to the increasing use of resources with
industrialization and the limited consideration of waste and pollution. This is especially true in large
urban areas where industries are concentrated, such as Lahore's Karachi. At the same time, the
management of harsh environments is the responsibility of Pakistan's industry, which weakens the
competitiveness of the export-oriented manufacturing sector in particular. Problems resulting from the
lack of environmental sustainability of the industry endanger Pakistan's development and are expected
to be exacerbated in unusual business scenarios. The Government of Punjab (GoPunjab) needs to
modernize its policy toolkit to put sustainable industrialization at the center of its growth strategy.
Punjab's Growth Strategy 2018 believed that growth should be private sector, investment driven, export
oriented, environmentally sound and job intensive. Developing an ambitious and integrated policy for
the green industry will be a strategic way to jointly achieve these goals, which may leave Punjab and
become a lighthouse in Pakistan. To do so, it is necessary to strengthen environmental policy (sticks) and
develop elements of green industrial policy that look at investment, innovation and trade (carrots).
Importantly, policy objectives need to include enterprise and industry level preventive and cyclical
approaches that can bring environmental and productivity competitiveness gains beyond the current
focus of pollution control and compliance. It was time to integrate this approach into the rules of
strategy and institutionalize and mainstream it at relevant government agencies.

Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority:

An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a set of processes and practices that enable an
organization to reduce its environmental impacts and increase its operating efficiency. It is a
framework that helps an organization to achieve its environmental goals through consistent control of
its operations. The assumption is that this increased control will improve the environmental
performance of the company. The EMS itself does not dictate a level of environmental performance
that must be achieved; each organization's EMS is tailored to the organization's business and goals An
Environmental Management System (EMS) determines and continuously improves an organization’s
environmental position and performance. It follows an outline and is managed like any other facet of a
business; quality, safety, etc, and provides a framework for implementing improvements or to meet
regulatory requirements. Ideally, it is built on an existing quality management system. (ISO 9001).
EMS specifies requirements for an environmental management system to enable an organization to
develop and implement a policy and objectives which take into account legal requirements and other
requirements to which the organization subscribes, and information about significant environmental
aspects. It applies to those environmental aspects that the organization identifies as those which it
can control and those which it can influence. It does not itself state specific environmental
performance criteria.EMS is applicable to any organization that wishes to establish, implement,
maintain and improve an environmental management system, to assure itself of conformity with its
stated environmental policy, and to demonstrate conformity with ISO 14001:2004 by:
a. making a self-determination and self-declaration, or
b. seeking confirmation of its conformance by parties having an interest in the organization, such
as customers, or
c. seeking confirmation of its self-declaration by a party external to the organization, or
d. seeking certification/registration of its environmental management system by an external
organization.
All the requirements in ISO 14001:2004 are intended to be incorporated into any environmental
management system. The extent of the application will depend on factors such as the environmental
policy of the organization, the nature of its activities, products and services and the location where
and the conditions in which it functions.
