Abstract: The WTO (formerly Uruguay Round of the GATT) negotiations in 1986 (which addressed the need to minimize nontariff barriers to trade), and the 1992 “Earth Summit” on the environment (which highlighted the importance of a global commitment to environmental quality improvement) are precursors to development of the ISO 14000 series of standards. ISO 14001 EMS is a relatively new environmental entrepreneurship approach to managing environmental risks in organizations, thereby helping to incorporate environmental management issues into corporate strategic decision making. Building an understanding of the unique constraints to implementing and certifying to ISO 14001, especially for SMEs, is an important step to helping them achieve public environmental policy objectives. An objective of this study to assess and consolidate the literature on various dimensions to ISO 14001 certification to throw a light on the importance on the ISO 14001 in the MSME’s in this competitive world.
Keywords: ISO 14001, EMS and SME.
