Introduction to Environmental Management Systems (ISO 14001)

This short course introduces you to business processes and ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems. It lays the foundations for understanding, implementing, and working with Environmental Management Systems.

Reducing the impact your organisation has on the environment is your financial, legal and ethical obligation. Now, more than ever, we are being asked to put environmental sustainability at the forefront of their business strategy. While this is a goal most organisations support, this mustn’t come at the cost of commercial success.

ISO 14001:2015 takes a sensible approach in helping you to reduce your impact while working towards your commercial objectives. Understanding the framework ISO 14001 provides will help you to work more efficiently, reduce costs, manage legal compliance, and demonstrate your commitment to adopting sustainable business practices.

See the sections below for more course details.
