According to ISO 14001, it is the organization's responsibility to identify its EMS's scope. With input from relevant interested parties and considering the context of its operations, the organization determines the boundaries, activities, products, and services that will be included within the EMS.

Note: The organization's top management typically plays a key role in defining the EMS scope, ensuring it aligns with its strategic objectives and environmental goals.

Examples:
Before starting the ISO 14001 implementation project, an organization decided on its EMS Scope. Later, after determining environmental aspects and impacts, the project team reviewed the EMS Scope and presented a new version with justification to be approved by top management.
