UNIT 3: ENVIRONMENT LAW, VOLUNTARY INITIATIVES AND PRINCIPLES FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT<br />
ISO 14000<br />
The major international voluntary environment management standard in operation<br />
today is ISO 14000. A short discussion on ISO 14000 follows. There are also several<br />
regional and national environment management standards such as the European<br />
Union’s Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS), and the US Environment<br />
Protection Agencies Industry Partnerships Program.<br />
The ISO 14000 is a series of environment management standards and guidelines<br />
developed and promoted by the International Organisation for Standardization<br />
(ISO). The idea was conceived during the run-up to the United Nations Conference<br />
on Environment and Development in 1992, after which a new ISO Technical<br />
Committee – ISO/TC207 on environment management – was created, with the<br />
objective of developing standards on environment-related performance. The<br />
complete list of the ISO 14000 series is given below.<br />
The series of most interest to tourism and hospitality is ISO 14001, which provides<br />
standards and certification of corporate environment management systems.<br />
