ISO 14001 Foundation Training

The ISO 14001:2015  standard defines the requirements for establishing an Environmental Management System (EMS). It helps organisations improve their environmental performance, control their environmental impacts and demonstrate compliance to stakeholders, clients and regulators.

The ISO 14001 Foundation certification (PECB) validates your understanding of the fundamentals of this standard and is the ideal entry point for anyone wishing to engage in an environmental management pathway or prepare for advanced training.
