What is ISO 14031?

Environmental Performance Evaluation is used to evaluate, measure, report and communicate the environmental performance of an organization based on the management’s criteria. The Environmental Performance Evaluation (EPE) provides a strong and continuous process by using indicators to compare present and past performance with the criteria established by the organization. These criteria enable organizations to seek continual improvement in the environmental performance and enhance effectiveness and profitability. This standard is designed for all organizations, regardless of type, size, location and complexity.

Environmental Performance Evaluation (or EPE), along with environmental audits and compliance, helps an organization’s management to assess the status of its environmental performance and to identify areas of potential improvement that are aligned with other industry best practices. As an ongoing process of collection and assessment of environmental data, it also enables organizations to observe its performance trends over time, which can play an important role in strategic goal setting.
