It applies to all those environmental aspects of the operation over which an organisation has control and is expected to have an influence.
The standard has been embraced worldwide as the preferred model for environmental management.
Ken Clithero, Quality Manager at Zetex Semiconductors commented: "Certification to the ISO14001 standard recognises that everyone at Zetex is fully committed to protecting the environment".
"However, it's not just about controlling industrial pollution and energy usage, it's about any aspect of the way we as a company and as individuals behave which impacts on the environment".
He continued: "Creating a truly robust environmental management system has taken a concerted and dedicated effort by Zetex teams around the world".
"It will enable us to more effectively identify, manage and control any activities that can impact on the environment".
"Our customers include many of the world's blue chip electronics manufacturers and it's vital that we have a strong environmental conscience".
