Water security varies by region, but globally, people are keen to see action on water security and be empowered to make sustainable decisions

Water is an essential natural resource—vital for people, the planet, and economic growth. Yet globally, only 31% of people understand their country’s water security status.
At BSI, we help organizations build resilience through globally recognized standards like ISO 14001 – Environmental Management System (EMS). This international standard provides a framework to reduce environmental impact, conserve water, and embed sustainability into your operations.

The relationship between water management and ISO 14001 is integral to the overall framework of environmental management. By effectively managing water resources through the structured approach of ISO 14001, organizations can reduce their environmental impact, comply with regulations, and contribute to the sustainable use of water. This not only benefits the environment but also enhances the organization’s reputation and operational efficiency.

 

Here’s how water management is integrated into ISO 14001:

  • Identification of Environmental Aspects
  • Setting Objectives and Targets
  • Operational Control
  • Monitoring and Measurement
  • Compliance with Legal Requirements
  • Emergency Preparedness and Response
  • Continual Improvement
  • Stakeholder Engagement
