ISO Certification
The Con Edison Environmental Management System (EMS) is certified to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001:2015 standard since 2002. The purpose of the ISO 14001:2015 standard is to provide a framework and systematic approach to environmental management. ISO 14001:2015 requires a commitment from all levels of the Con Edison organization, led by top management, to environmental protection through pollution prevention and continuous improvement. ISO 14001 certification gives Con Edison and their stakeholders a means of verification that the EMS is operating at a world-class standard.
Through the implementation of an ISO 14001 certified EMS, Con Edison is committed to:
- Improving environmental performance
- Strengthening regulatory compliance
- Enhancing relationships with our stakeholders
- Identifying and reducing significant EH&S risk potential
- Promoting wise and effective use of natural resources
We have, over 20 consecutive years, maintained our ISO 14001 certification through a rigorous third-party certification process. In 2023, we were re-certified to the ISO 14001:2015 standard through a two-week audit conducted by Intertek Testing Services NA. A climate change audit theme was utilized to shine light on our operational facilities and programmatic efforts to reduce environmental impacts. The results of the audit confirmed our environmental management processes exceed the standard’s requirements.
Our chemical laboratory operations are third party certified to the ISO/IEC 17025:2017, general requirements for the competence of testing, and calibration laboratories standard.
