ISO 14001 is the star standard among the International Organization for
Standardization's ISO 14000 series of environmental management standards. It
has seen spectacular growth since its launch in September 1996. Worldwide
registrations are set to pass the 20,000 mark in 2000 with 20 times that
number reportedly waiting in the wings.

In 30 explicit but concise chapters, ISO 14001: Case Studies and Practical
Experiences seeks to unravel the truth behind what can and cannot be
achieved by ISO 14001 and aims to provide readers with enough knowledge to
make choices about its relevance and importance not only to their worlds but
also to society. Written by leading practitioners, certifiers, consultants,
government and academics, the book examines both the real benefits and the
shortcomings organisations have experienced with ISO 14001. We learn from
both.


Far more ambitious than an implementation guide, the book will provide those
readers struggling with the standard first-hand experiences of the real
issues they will face in implementing their EMS and, just as importantly,
what certifiers look for when they visit firms. ISO 14001: Case Studies and
Practical Experiences is a warts-and-all expose of ISO 14001: the issues
tackled; the problems faced and overcome; and, above all, the astonishing
flexibility of its uses and the diversity of its users.

This important book is a must for businesses, researchers, consultants,
government officials, students, NGOs and support organisations who want more
than just another how-to-do-it manual; but rather the truth about how ISO
14001 is really working on the ground.
