Introduction

The KS I 7001-2018(2023) standard, published by the Korea Agency for Technology and Standards (KR-KATS) on May 23, 2018, is a comprehensive guideline designed to assist organizations in establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving their Green Management System (GMS). This standard aims at integrating environmental management into an organization's overall strategy and operations. It provides detailed requirements for a GMS that encompasses not only the traditional aspects of pollution prevention but also resource efficiency, eco-design, and sustainable procurement. Part 1 of KS I 7001-2018 lays out the core requirements for establishing a GMS. These requirements are designed to be flexible enough to accommodate various organizational structures and industries while ensuring that environmental responsibility is maintained throughout all operations. The standard emphasizes continuous improvement as a key component, encouraging organizations to regularly assess their environmental impact and seek ways to minimize it. The accompanying Use Guide offers practical advice on how to implement the GMS effectively. It includes checklists, case studies, and best practices from leading organizations, making it easier for managers and staff to understand and apply the standard's requirements in a real-world context. This guide is particularly valuable for those who are new to environmental management or seeking to enhance existing systems. KS I 7001-2018(2023) serves as a critical tool for organizations aiming to comply with national and international regulations on environmental protection, while also contributing to the broader goals of sustainability. It is applicable across all sectors including manufacturing, services, and public administration.
