The rapid development of global industry and agriculture has greatly satisfied the material pursuit of human life, but it has also brought about many environmental problems, such as global warming, land desertification, destruction of the ozone layer, soil erosion, and the reduction of biodiversity, which have seriously affected the health and development of human beings. In order to maintain the balance of our living environment and leave green water and green mountains for future generations, environmental protection is imperative, and environmental management systems have come into being.

ISO14001 is the international standard of environmental management system formulated by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), and it is also the crystallisation of the environmental management experience of industrial and agricultural developed countries. It regulates the requirements for the environmental management system of the enterprises, and provides a systematic framework for the enterprises to set up the concept of environmental protection by supporting environmental protection, preventing environmental pollution and improving the environment. It also integrates the theory and practice of environmental management by supporting environmental protection, preventing pollution, reducing waste, lowering energy and raw material consumption, and controlling product recycling. The standard also focuses on the assessment and control of significant environmental impacts and the prevention of environmental accidents, thereby reducing environmental risks and achieving sustainable development.

The formulation of the ISO14001 standard and its subsequent revisions have received widespread attention and response from governments, and enterprises from all walks of life have also adjusted their business objectives, striving to keep in line with the global position on sustainable development in order to improve their competitive advantage in the market.

The positive impacts of environmental management system certification on enterprises are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

● Promote enterprises to save energy and reduce consumption in production, operation, service and other activities, improve product performance, optimise process equipment, avoid economic losses caused by environmental problems, and effectively reduce enterprise production costs;

● Promote enterprises to regulate their own environmental behaviour, improve the environmental quality of employees, improve environmental performance, and thus reduce environmental risks in the production and service process;

● Enhance the compliance of the operation of the enterprise mechanism, so that all aspects of the enterprise's operation comply with international and national laws and regulations, thereby increasing business exchanges and business development opportunities;

● Assist enterprises to put their products into international core markets, obtain international recognition, and meet the growing demand of international customers for corporate responsibility;

● To establish corporate image, standardise business operations, improve corporate visibility and industry competitiveness, win the trust of more stakeholders and customers, expand market share, enhance organisational viability, and achieve sustainable operations.
