The promise and pitfalls of ISO 14001 : a South African perspective

Includes bibliographical references. / ISO 14001's increasing importance in trade considerations and growing status within regulatory policies means that eventually, few organizations of any size and in any country will be able to ignore it. But does the standard discriminate against the Developing World? Is it accurate to measure the success a country has had in implementing ISO 14001 without taking its size and wealth into account? Are critics of the standard missing the point? This paper examines these questions from the South African perspective and proposes a new method to measure the extent of ISO 14001 acceptance between countries of differing population and economic output.
