Overview: “ISO 14000 is a business issue, not a purely environmental one...” wrote Charles Corbett and co-author David Kirsch in the seminal article, “ISO 14000: an agnostic’s report from the front line”, which was published in the March-April 2000 issue of ISO 9000 + ISO 14000 News (now relaunched as ISO Management Systems). That does not detract from the fact that ISO 14000 is also very much an environmental standard. To put it bluntly, unless implementing an environmental management system based on ISO 14001 helps an organization to reduce the negative impacts its business activities might be having on the environment, then the standard is not much use. This is the central issue that Charles Corbett and Michael Russo – both professors in US business schools – address in the present article. Using original data from the US and from an ongoing international survey, they seek to answer the question as to whether an ISO 14001 certificate is mere window-dressing, or a pointer to concrete results in environmental performance.
