ISO 14001:2015 - Basic Overview - Module 1

Why Should You Attend:

Does your site currently have the ISO 14001 certification? Or, are you thinking of getting your facility ISO 14001 certified? If the answer to either of these questions is a “yes”, you will not want to miss out on this webinar discussing the new ISO 14001:2015 requirements.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published the revised ISO 14001:2015 environmental management systems (EMS) standard on September 15, 2015, replacing the 2004 version.

This revision includes significant changes, most of which are real improvements, helping users derive more value from their EMS. Organizations without a formal environmental (or EHS) management system should consider it now, with the new ISO 14001 as a model.

Organizations with an existing certified ISO 14001 EMS must transition to the revised standard by September 2018. ISO 14001 is the world's best-known environmental management system standard, and it provides a systematic framework to help organizations protect the environment through balanced socio-economic means.
