FAST FORWARD: The future of ISO 9000 and ISO 14000

摘要

The chairs of the ISO technical committees responsible for environmental management (ISO 14000) and quality management (ISO 9000) press the "pause" button to review current cooperation on ISO's management system standards, and "fast forward" to look at the path ahead for these and for management system standards in general. Worldwide business and organizations of all kinds are rapidly changing. The global village is shrinking and the nature of international cooperation is becoming more complex. Countries and trading partners are becoming increasingly dependent on each other for business, prosperity and socioeconomic change and environmental responsibility.
