ISO 14063:2006(E)
Foreword
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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 14063 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 207, Environmental management.

ISO 14063:2006(E)
Introduction
0.1 Over the past two decades, communication on environmental values, actions and performance has
become an essential activity of organizations, because of increased public concern and interest, and
governmental activities related to the environment. Organizations all over the world are increasingly confronted
with the need to express their views, and present and explain the environmental implications of their activities,
products and services. There is also a growing need to listen to interested parties, and incorporate their views
and requirements as part of environmental communication.
Organizations have a need to obtain and provide information about and respond to environmental issues,
concerns and programmes. This is influenced by factors such as the organization's geographic location and
distribution, size and types of activities. Motivations for communication can include the following:
— the interest of the organization to share information on its environmental practices;
— a request for information by employees or investors, a government agency, a community group, a customer
or supplier, or any other interested party;
— the need to discuss with interested parties, especially with target groups, a proposed action of the
organization, such as expansion of an existing facility, or siting of a new facility, or the introduction of a new
product or service;
— environmental risk management;
— a regulatory requirement;
— response to complaints from interested parties;
— the increasing importance of addressing environmental issues.
Environmental communication is the process of sharing information to build trust, credibility and partnerships, to
raise awareness, and to use in decision making. The processes used and the content of environmental
communication will vary with the objectives and circumstances of the organization and should be built on
substantive information.
0.2 Environmental communication is broader than environmental reporting. It has many purposes and takes
many forms. Environmental communication can be ad hoc or planned. An example of ad hoc communication
occurs when a facility manager attends a community event and answers questions. Planned communication
can cover the range from limited to full participation of interested parties as shown below.
a) One-way communication occurs when the organization distributes information, for example when an
organization issues an environmental report with no opportunity for questions or discussion.
b) Two-way communication occurs with an exchange of information and ideas among the organization and
interested parties.
c) In participatory decision-making, including effective feedback that affects the organization and/or the local
community, an organization collaborates with interested parties.
0.3 Engagement with interested parties provides an opportunity for an organization to learn their issues and
concerns; it can lead to knowledge being gained by both sides and can influence opinions and perceptions.
When properly done, any particular approach can be successful and satisfy the needs of the organization and
interested parties. In some cases, understanding the communication pattern/behaviour of each interested party
(or target group) is also important in environmental communications. The most effective environmental
communication process involves ongoing contact by the organization with internal and external interested
parties, as part of the organization’s overall communications strategy.
