Environmental Management Systems: A Tool for Sustainability

This updated course specifies general requirements and guidelines of the new ISO 14001:2015 environmental management system (EMS) standard. A fully implemented EMS will provide reasonable assurance of minimal negative environmental impact, improved environmental performance and sustainable growth. EMS can be utilized as a launching pad to move organizations towards sustainability through environmental source reduction, self-regulation and continuous improvement.

Topics include:

• Understand the requirements of ISO 14001:2015 standard
• Understand the importance and benefits of an environmental management system
• Understand how the EMS interacts with organization's processes
• Understand how the EMS improves environmental performance through more efficient use of resources and reduction of waste
• Auditing to standard's requirements
• How to identify nonconformities
