What is ISO 14063?

Environmental communication has become increasingly important due to increased environmental concerns and awareness among organizations seeking to attain and deliver information regarding their environmental practices and response to environmental issues. ISO 14063 provides guidance to an organization on the general principles, policy, strategy and activities related to both internal and external interested parties to establish a mutual understanding on environmental issues, aspects and performance.

This standard is applicable to all types of organizations, regardless of their sector, structure, activities, products and services. Apart from that, the standard can be used as a standalone standard or in conjunction with any of the standards of the ISO 14000 series.
