RRC's Introduction to ISO 14001 provides a detailed introduction to ISO 14001, the international standard for Environmental Management Systems (EMS). It is ideal for anyone who is part of an organisation that is about to embark on the implementation of an Environmental Management System, or anyone who wants to increase their knowledge of EMS in general.

It offers an introduction to the ISO 14001 standard itself (detailing its scope and main requirements) and also covers environmental policy. Finally, the guide goes on to discuss each element of the standard in detail (planning, implementation and operation, checking and management review) and provides an overview of relevant environmental legislation and sources of further reading.
