ISO 14001 certification in Munich at a glance
Munich offers a local on-ramp to environmental management that few cities match. ÖKOPROFIT München, run by munich business, has supported local firms on resource saving and climate protection, and the city notes that taking part can lead on to an ISO 14001 or EMAS certification. At the Großmarkthalle, Markthallen München publishes an EMAS environmental statement for its own site. ISO 14001 is the international standard for an environmental management system: significant aspects, legal compliance, objectives, operational control, internal audit and management review. For a Munich manufacturer, logistics operator or office-based firm it turns programme results into a system that an accredited certification body can audit. Sterling supports the build from its Frankfurt office; regulation and accreditation are on the Germany page.

ISO 14001 in Munich: questions clients ask
Can ÖKOPROFIT München participation count towards ISO 14001?
It can give you a head start, because the programme produces an environmental review, objectives and documentation. It is not itself an ISO 14001 certificate. The city notes it can be followed by ISO 14001 or EMAS, and the management system still has to be audited by an accredited certification body.
Why would a Munich logistics or food firm choose ISO 14001 rather than EMAS?
ISO 14001 is the international choice and is what many customers name in supplier questionnaires; EMAS adds a public environmental statement and a verifier. The Großmarkthalle shows the EMAS route locally. Which one suits you depends on customer expectations and how public you want the reporting to be.
