ISO 14001

 

About

In addition, to sustainable forest management certification success in Canada, almost 150 million hectares have been certified to ISO 14001 Standard. It is noteworthy that the internationally recognized ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Standard (ISO) is a generic standard applicable for use in all industry sectors and applications, unlike CSA, SFI and FSC which are specific forest certification standards. However, the International Organization for Standardization itself recognized that there is great interest in its application to forestry and as such prepared a special technical report, ISO 14061, Information to Assist Forestry Organizations in the Use of Environmental Management Systems Standards ISO 14001 and ISO 14004. There are many reasons and benefits associated with implementing ISO 14001 in forest operations.
