what is iso 14001?

The International Standards Organisation - ISO 14001 registration puts the burden on each Delaware North GreenPath® property to maintain strict environmental standards designed to protect their environment. Auditors perform stringent site inspections to ensure that each property is maintaining ISO 14001 standards. Compliance with environmental regulations, progress with environmental management programs, and associate awareness of the environmental management system (GreenPath®) are verified during site inspections by third-party auditors.
