The introduction to ISO 14001 course is filled with videos and case studies to give you an overview and understanding of the international environmental management standard. It is free to take and we hope it gives you a better understanding of the standard.

The ISO 14001 Environment Management System (EMS) standard is an internationally recognised environmental management standard which was first published in 1996. It is a systematic framework to manage the immediate and long term environmental impacts of an organisation’s products, services and processes. Certification Europe is accredited to certify your environmental management system to the ISO 14001 standard.

minimise their environmental footprint
diminish the risk of pollution incidents
provides operational improvements
ensure compliance with relevant environmental legislation, and
develop their business in a sustainable manner
