An Integrated Management System (IMS) unifies an organization’s quality, environmental, and safety management under one framework. In practice, this means combining ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment), and ISO 45001 (health & safety) into a single system of processes and procedures. As one certification body explains, an IMS “combines multiple management system standards into a single, streamlined framework,” enabling a company to manage quality, environmental impact, and occupational health & safety together while reducing duplication. This comprehensive approach aligns all aspects of the business with strategic objectives.
