Rapid globalization is changing the way
companies today do business. Progress in
manufacturing is being shared between
nations, and society has more access than
ever to products designed to enhance
lives. However, with a growing
interconnectedness among industrialized
nations comes increasing, shared
responsibility - toward ensuring the safety
of society and the protection of our
environment. Companies that effectively
manage this responsibility through
compliance, ultimately earn customer trust
and sustain positive reputations.
ISO standards were established to direct
organizations in minimizing potentially
harmful effects on the environment caused
by their activities and achieving continuous
improvement of their environmental
performance. Standards on air, water and
soil quality, and on emissions of gases and
radiation, when followed universally,
contribute to the ever-widening array of
available consumer goods and services. In
jointly assuming ongoing environmental
responsibility, countries are benefiting from
shared consumer trust and respect.
