A Simple Guide to Understand ISO 14001 in Shipping

12
ISO-14001 This story is about a nice guy called Jack. Jack always understood his responsibilities towards the environment. He preferred bicycle over a car for small distance travel. He would get irritated if he saw someone print something that was unnecessary. He was absolute environment-friendly in every sense. Jack now owns a ship management company and he got a chance to showcase his services to a prestigious ship owner. At the end of his presentation about his company, Jack thought to himself; "Well done boy". But jack was awestruck when the ship owners said; Sorry Jack, but we only work with companies that care for the environment. No one care for the environment better than me and my company sir;  replied Jack with confidence. Jack's confidence was short lived when the shipowner asked him "do you have proof"? Jack has one month to prove that his company cares for the environment. Someone suggested him to get ISO 14001 accreditation but he had no idea what it is. After all, he has just got into the ship management business. Let us help jack understand how he can prove to the shipowner that his company cared for the environment. Let us understand ISO 14001. International organization for Standardization (ISO) As the name suggests, ISO sets the standards for the companies to adopt.
