ISO 14001:2026 was published on 15 April 2026, replacing the 2015 edition (with its 2024 climate amendment) and starting a 3-year transition window for every certified organisation worldwide. Whether your company is mid-transition, preparing for first certification, or already certified and re-aligning to the new edition, every employee is now expected to demonstrate environmental awareness. Clause 7.3 of the new standard places that obligation on every "person doing work under the organisation's control" — not only the HSE team, not only auditors, not only specialists. That means you.

This course is awareness-grade training built for general staff at organisations operating under ISO 14001. It is designed to satisfy the auditor's awareness expectations and to do so quickly, practically, and without unnecessary jargon. Every lecture is anchored to a realistic model company — Verdana Precision Industries, a Tier-2 EU automotive metal-parts manufacturer with three sites and roughly 1,200 employees — so the worked examples reflect what the standard actually looks like on a working shop floor.

Across 22 lectures (~3 hours of video) you will learn what ISO 14001 is and why it now affects everyone, how Verdana decides which environmental aspects are significant, what your environmental policy actually commits the company to, what auditors will ask you when they walk past your desk, how to respond to spills and other emergencies, and how to write a credible set of 90-day personal commitments at the end. You'll finish ready to give a confident, accurate answer the next time an internal or third-party auditor asks: "what do you do here, and what's its environmental impact?"
