ISO 14004:2016 10.3.2: Implementation of continual improvement

Guidance: once improvement opportunities are found, the organization should assess them to decide on action, plan that action, and then make the resulting changes to the system. Improvements need not occur in all areas at once, and continual improvement becomes harder as performance improves. Examples include processes for evaluating less harmful materials, training to reduce waste, water reuse treatment, default double-sided printing, redesigned delivery routes, fuel substitution objectives, an improvement culture, partnerships with interested parties and sustainability in business processes.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 3 controls across 3 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

ISO 31000:2018 · 1 control

  • 5.5 Implementation

ISO/IEC 23894:2023 · 1 control

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
