Context of the Organisation

One of the objectives of ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 9001:2015 is the pulling together of an organisation’s environmental internal issues, external issues and interested parties that make up the firm’s business environment or the Context of the Organisation.

Your organisation should focus particularly on factors and conditions that can affect your products, services, investments and interested parties. Context becomes an important consideration and helps to ensure that your Environmental Management System (EMS) or Quality Management System (QMS) is designed and adapted for your organisation rather than taking a 'one size fits all' approach.
