• minimize the ways in which business operations cause negative environmental impacts (to the atmosphere, water, or soil),
• ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and other requirements (national, EU, or international) related to environmental issues, and
• continually improve corporate environmental performance.

EKAPTY audits and certifies organizations and businesses in the broader field of Health and the Medical Device industry according to ISO 14001, based on common practices for system audit processes as defined in ISO 19011.

Through a parallel audit process, EKAPTY can assess compliance with all three management systems: ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and ISO 14001.

The ISO 14001 standard sets the criteria for the design, implementation, measurement, and monitoring of Environmental Management Systems (EMS).

The ISO 14001 standard provides the framework that an organization/business can follow to implement the necessary measures and procedures that characterize an efficient and effective EMS.

ISO 14001 can be applied by any organization/business in the Health and Medical Device sector seeking to improve resource efficiency, reduce waste generation, minimize operating costs, and achieve financial benefits.

The use of ISO 14001 establishes a supervisory mechanism for implementing operational processes and involving employees and other interested parties (suppliers, customers), so that corporate environmental performance can be measured, assessed, and improved.
