Interested Party
Interested party is person or group concerned with or affected by the
environmental. It has a stake in the environmental performance of an organization. ISO
14001 defines an interested party as “a person or organization that can affect, be affected
by, or perceive themselves to be affected by a decision or activity”. “perceive itself to be
affected” here means the perception has been made known to the organization. The reason
for identifying the interested party is to determine the relevant needs and expectations of
these parties so that they can determine which of these needs and expectations are
compliance obligations. Compliance obligations means something like legal requirements.
The examples for the interested party are customers, communities, suppliers,
regulators, non-governmental organizations, investors and employees. So, after determining
what is the interested parties expect, then we need to determine which of these
expectations will become obligations within the EMS. It is good to go through each of the
expectations that identified and determine if this will become something that will plan to
address within the management system. We need to working out the details of what is
exactly expected and how it will be fulfilled.
