The ISO 14001:2026 standard was officially released on 15 April 2026, introducing significant enhancements over the 2015 version. Key focus areas include climate change, biodiversity, life cycle perspective, supply chain controls, leadership commitment, and planning of changes, while reinforcing a risk-based approach through risks and opportunities. The new standard also aligns closely with global sustainability frameworks such as ESG, TCFD, GRI, and CSRD, raising expectations for organizations to integrate environmental management with broader sustainability disclosures.
To successfully achieve transition certification, meet compliance obligations, and respond to increasing expectations from interested parties, organizations shall upgrade their Environmental Management Systems (EMS) systematically.
This programme adopts a modular and flexible learning approach, combining:
• 1 day Transition Implementation Training
• 2-day Advanced Practical Workshop Series (10 modules)
It is designed to bridge standard interpretation and real-world application, enabling participants to translate requirements into practical, documented outputs that support effective EMS implementation and transition.
Key highlights:
- Modular design tailored to different roles, learning needs and experience levels;
- Integrated approach combining theory with hands-on application;
- Focus on key ISO 14001:2026 requirements and updated expectations;
- Alignment with System Certification and ESG disclosure frameworks;
- Practical toolkits ready for immediate use
