ISO 14001:2015 [Environmental management systems | Requirements with guidance for use], the internationally recognized standard for environmental management systems (EMS). It provides a framework for organizations to design and implement an EMS, and continually improve their environmental performance. By adhering to this standard, organizations can ensure they are taking proactive measures to minimize their environmental footprint, comply with relevant legal requirements, and achieve their environmental objectives. The framework encompasses various aspects, from resource usage and waste management to monitoring environmental performance and involving stakeholders in environmental commitments.
As part of our commitment to Green Endoscopy and the wider goals of the Greener NHS Programme, we have made a commitment to making specific changes internally to ensure Omnimed is a more sustainable supplier via a range of internal initiatives. Details of both completed and planned carbon reduction initiatives can be found in our Carbon Reduction Plan.
