Environmental management - Environmental performance evaluation - Guidelines (ISO 14031:2013)
ISO 14031:2013 gives guidance on the design and use of environmental performance evaluation (EPE) within an organization. It is applicable to all organizations, regardless of type, size, location and complexity.
ISO 14031:2013 does not establish environmental performance levels.
The guidance in ISO 14031:2013 can be used to support an organization's own approach to EPE, including its commitments to compliance with legal and other requirements, the prevention of pollution, and continual improvement.
Umweltmanagement - Umweltleistungsbewertung - Leitlinien (ISO 14031:2013)
Diese Internationale Norm legt eine Anleitung zur Gestaltung und Durchführung der Umweltleistungsbewertung innerhalb einer Organisation. Sie kann von jeder Organisation unabhängig von deren Organisationstyp, Größe, Standort und Komplexität angewandt werden.
Diese Internationale Norm legt keine Beurteilungsmaßstäbe für die Umweltleistung fest.
Die in dieser Internationalen Norm enthaltene Anleitung kann zur Unterstützung eines eigenen Ansatzes der Umweltleistungsbewertung einer Organisation, einschließlich ihrer Selbstverpflichtung zur Einhaltung von rechtlichen und sonstigen Voraussetzungen, der Vermeidung von Umweltbelastungen sowie einer fortwährenden Verbesserung angewendet werden.
ANMERKUNG Diese Internationale Norm ist eine allgemeine Norm und beinhaltet keine Anleitung für spezifische Methoden zur Wertung oder Gewichtung unterschiedlicher Arten der Auswirkungen in unterschiedlichen Sektoren, Disziplinen, etc. Abhängig der Art der Tätigkeiten einer Organisation ist der Verweis auf andere Quellen für Zusatzinformationen und Anleitungen zu sektorspezifischen Themen, unterschiedlichen Gegenständen oder unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen oft notwendig.
Management environnemental - Évaluation de la performance environnementale - Lignes directrices (ISO 14031:2013)
L'ISO 14031:2013 donne des lignes directrices sur la conception et l'utilisation de l'évaluation de la performance environnementale (EPE) au sein d'une organisation. Elle est applicable à toute organisation, indépendamment de sa catégorie, sa taille, sa situation géographique et sa complexité.
L'ISO 14031:2013 ne définit pas de niveaux de performance environnementale.
Les lignes directrices fournies dans l'ISO 14031:2013 peuvent être utilisées afin de mettre en ?uvre et d'appuyer l'approche spécifique d'une organisation en matière d'EPE y compris son engagement de conformité avec les exigences légales et autres exigences, de prévention de la pollution et d'amélioration continue.
Ravnanje z okoljem - Vrednotenje učinkov ravnanja z okoljem - Smernice (ISO 14031:2013)
Ta mednarodni standard podaja smernice za načrtovanje in uporabo vrednotenja učinkov ravnanja z okoljem (EPE) v organizaciji. Veljaven je za vse organizacije, ne glede na tip, velikost, lokacijo in kompleksnost. Ta mednarodni standard ne določa ravni učinkov ravnanja z okoljem.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives

Introduction
Many organizations seek ways to understand, demonstrate and improve their environmental
performance. This can be achieved by effectively managing those elements of their activities, products
and services that can significantly impact the environment.
This International Standard sets out a process called environmental performance evaluation (EPE)
(see 3.10) which enables organizations to measure, evaluate and communicate their environmental
performance using key performance indicators (KPIs), based on reliable and verifiable information.
EPE is equally applicable to small and large enterprises and can be used to support an environmental
management system (EMS) (see 3.7), or used independently. An organization with an EMS in place can
assess its environmental performance against its environmental policy, objectives, targets and other
environmental performance objectives.
Data and information generated by EPE can be used by an organization to implement other environmental
management tools and techniques in a coherent, transparent and cost effective way, e.g. other standards
developed by ISO/TC 207 such as those relating to environmental management systems (ISO 14001,
ISO 14004, ISO 14005, ISO 14006), to environmental declarations (ISO 14025), to environmental labelling
(ISO 14024) and to life cycle assessment (ISO 14040, ISO 14044). A full list is given in the Bibliography.
This International Standard can also be used independently.
Environmental performance evaluation and environmental audits are complementary tools that can be
used to assess environmental performance and identify areas for improvement. The key aspects (and
differences) of these tools are the following:
— EPE is an ongoing process of collection and assessment of data and information to provide a current
evaluation of performance, as well as performance trends over time;
— environmental audits can be used to gather such data and information, either as part of EPE, or as part
of an environmental management system, to verify whether objectives and targets are being met;
— environmental management system audits are conducted periodically to verify conformity with
specifications and compliance with legal and other requirements (guidance on auditing an EMS is
provided in ISO 19011).
