The ISO 14001 standard represents the strongest possible commitment to environmental management, and few municipalities in the world have applied it as broadly to their operations as the City of Edmonton. Although the Federation of Canadian Municipalities has promoted this standard to its members for many years, it is a daunting task to implement and then become certified to the ISO 14001 standard.
