There are many benefits derived from the
implementation of the ISO 14001 management system. These benefits were
determined by studies conducted by different researchers. The paper reviews the
literature using an electronic search in the ScienceDirect, ABI/Inform, Emerald
databases to identify papers focusing on the adoption of the ISO 14001 standard
and the benefits derived from implementing it. The paper identifies 20 articles
about ISO 14001. The review suggests 13 benefits as the most usually analyzed
by scholars. It is suggested that standard has clear benefits on operational
and customer satisfaction and that the effects on financial performance are
inconclusive. In addition, other key words could be included in future studies
such as operational, market, quality, financial performance, and customer
satisfaction in order to expand this search. The main contribution is that the
paper identifies the literature gap and future research proposals with regard
to the benefits of the ISO 14001 standards.

incelemesi yapılırken, ScienceDirect, ABI/Inform ve Emerald veri tabanlarında
bulunan ve ISO 14001 standardının uygulanmasından elde edilen faydalara
odaklanan makaleler taranmıştır. Findings: The paper identifies 82 articles about ISO
