ISO 14001:2015 Internal Auditor

Course Content

SRI has prepared this course to comprehensively cover the new requirements of ISO 14001:2015 and provide a practical understanding of how to implement and audit an Environmental Management System (EMS). It also includes an overview of the various methods for investigating nonconformities to ensure effective corrective action. It was designed to demonstrate the evolution of the standard from the 2004 version and to improve comprehension of the range of flexibility in designing and improving an EMS. It is intended for everyone regardless of experience with the standards. For those with established systems, it encourages upgrades to align with modern techniques and concepts of environmental management and business sustainability. The enhanced alignment and ability to integrate with other business management standards will be explored along with the risk-based approach specifically as it applies to system design and improvement, overall environmental management and internal auditing.
