ISO 14001 Journey to Certification

Step 2: Implementation

You need to:

• Complete the optional BSI ISO 14001 self-assessment questionnaire to evaluate how much of the work you’ve completed to meet certification requirements and what is still left to do
• Ensure your organization understands the principles of ISO 14001, the roles individuals they’ll need to play and review your activities and processes against the standard

We help you to:

• Know what needs to be done to implement the standard successfully at the BSI Implementing an ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System training course 
• Understand where your environmental management system still needs work in order to be certified, book an optional BSI gap assessment
• Effectively implement your EMS with our Business Improvement Software
