Diseño de un sistema de gestión ambiental basado en la norma ISO 14001:2015, para una imprenta industrial

Abstract

The objective of this work was to design an Environmental Management System based on the international standard ISO 14001:2015 in which the environmental aspects and impacts produced by complying with processes, procedures and records were identified and optimized, where responsibilities and functions are defined to mitigate impacts, encouraging the printing press to apply continuous improvement in its production process. First, an environmental assessment of the current situation of the company was carried out to identify the critical environmental impacts generated by the activity of the company, in order to prevent, control and mitigate those impacts. The cycles of the environmental management system based on ISO 14001:2015 based on: plan, do, verify and act (PHVA) were used as reference. Finally, procedures, activities, processes and registers were proposed to implement an environmental management system based on the international standard ISO 14001:2015. By certifying itself with this standard, the printer will improve its environmental performance by systematically managing its environmental responsibilities and thus contributing to sustainability
