It provides a means for companies to effect a step-by-step approach, or evolution, towards an EMS covering all ISO14001 requirements. | The Resources and Examples provide information for each of the EMS elements which can be used to assure status at an existing maturity level, or to evolve towards the next EMS maturity level, for example, from ‘Advanced’ to Leading EMS level’. | The Verification Tool Kit provides a requirements conformity checklist, guidance on assessor qualifications, templates for self-declaration and 3rd party verification statement. | The Publication Process describes how to communicate information about the EMS maturity level of your company, e.g. on iaeg.com. |
