While US-based multinational companies work feverishly to quality for ISO 9000 quality certification, the International Standards Organization is giving notice that a global environmental management standard is on the way. The new standard, to be christened ISO 14000 when it is issued sometime in 1996, will set forth a voluntary guidance and certification program to help corporations implement a single, general environmental management system everywhere they operate. The standard also will call for corporate commitments to environmental excellence beyond national or regional regulatory boundaries.
