A simplistic way to view your EMS under the 14001:2004 standard was to think about what aspects and actions could be considered to lessen your organization’s impact on the environment. That approach is extremely one dimensional, which is what the new clause seeks to improve. By considering the context of your organization, you must think of all the direct and indirect consequences, the legal requirements, and all effects on your stakeholders that your EMS performance will have. In other words, to prepare for ISO 14001:2015 compliance you will need to take a “helicopter view” of your organization’s environmental performance, and scope out exactly who that affects, and consequently, what can be identified to mitigate and improve that. So, how exactly does that break down?
