Environmental Impact Assessment through ISO 14044
ISO 14044 is an international standard that provides guidelines for conducting Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs). LCAs are comprehensive assessments of a product’s environmental impacts throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal.
By following ISO 14044, organizations can identify and quantify the environmental impacts of their products, such as greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, and waste generation. This information can then be used to make informed decisions about product design, material selection, and manufacturing processes to reduce their environmental footprint.
The key steps involved in conducting an LCA according to ISO 14044 include:
- Goal Definition and Scope Definition: Clearly defining the purpose of the LCA and determining the system boundaries.
- Inventory Analysis: Collecting data on the inputs and outputs of the product system, including materials, energy and emissions.
- Impact Assessment: Evaluating the environmental impacts of the inputs and outputs identified in the inventory analysis, considering factors like climate change, acidification and eutrophication.
- Interpretation: Analyzing the results of the impact assessment to identify areas for improvement and inform decision-making.
By following ISO 14044, organizations can conduct robust and credible LCAs that provide valuable insights into their environmental performance and help them make more sustainable choices.
Certification of an environmental management system is the official recognition of its actual implementation and is considered to be a factual proof and commitment of a company against the protection of the environment and sustainable management.

Research beyond the business plan
The requirements for a quality system have been standardized – but many organizations like to consider themselves as unique. So how does ISO 9001:2008 allow the multiformity, on the one hand for a sole trader, and for a multinational manufacturing company with service components, or a public utility, or a government administration on the other hand?
The answer is that ISO 9001:2008 lays down the requirements a quality system must meet, but does not indicate how they should be met in a particular organization. This leaves great scope and flexibility for implementation in different business sectors and business cultures, as well as in different national cultures.
- The standard requires the organization itself to audit its QMS according to ISO 9001:2008 – in order to verify that it is managing its processes effectively – or, in other words, to check that it is fully in control of its activities.
- In addition, the organization may invite its clients to audit the quality system in order to give them confidence that the organization is capable of delivering products or services that will meet their requirements.
- Lastly, the organization may engage the services of an independent quality system certification body to obtain an ISO 9001:2008 certificate of conformity. This last option has been proved extremely popular in the market due to the perceived credibility of an independent assessment.
The organization may thus avoid multiple audits by its clients, or reduce the frequency or duration of client audits. The certificate can also serve as a business reference between the organization and potential clients, especially when supplier and client are new to each other, or far removed geographically, as in an export context.
ISO 9001:2008 introduces no new requirements. ISO 9001:2008 introduces just clarifications for the existing requirements of ISO 9001:2000 based on eight years of experience of implementing the standard world wide with about one million certificates issued in 170 countries up to date.
It also introduces changes intended to improve consistency with ISO14001:2004.
As the name “International Organization for Standardization” would have different acronyms in different languages (“IOS” in English, “OIN” in French for Organisation internationale de normalisation), its founders decided to give it also a short, all-purpose name.
They chose “ISO”, derived from the Greek isos, meaning “equal”.
Whatever the country, whatever the language, the short form of the organization’s name is always ISO.
