Extract: Summary
The challenges of contaminated land, compliance with regulation and product liability are becoming increasingly complex. It is therefore vital for businesses to understand the consequences that these may have, not just on financial viability and the relationships with financial stakeholders, but with client perceptions and continuity in production.
This publication examines the international standard ISO 14015 Environmental management. Environmental assessment of sites and organizations, and its application to the non-intrusive stages of environmental assessment.
The opening paragraph of ISO/IEC 20000-1 states that ‘This standard promotes the adoption of an integrated process approach to effectively deliver managed services to meet the business and customer requirements’. This book reflects the importance placed by ISO/IEC 20000 on understanding the interfaces between processes, and how the interfaces are managed so that service management processes are fully integrated. It also reflects the top-down management system approach that is fundamental to ISO/IEC 20000. This book describes how understanding and meeting the requirements of ISO/IEC 20000 gives better control, greater efficiency and opportunities for improvements.
