COURSE OVERVIEW

Duration: Self-Paced 

The eAssessment for ISO 14001:2015 provides South African organisations with a valuable tool to assess their environmental management system (EMS) against the updated ISO 14001:2015 standards. This self-assessment enables businesses to identify gaps in their current EMS and align with the revised 2015 standard. By adopting an ISO 14001-based EMS, companies can enhance resource efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure compliance with local legal and environmental requirements, while demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and responsible environmental practices.

• Environmental Performance Improvement: Implementing ISO 14001 helps organizations manage and reduce their environmental footprint. This includes improving energy efficiency, reducing waste, and minimizing pollution.

• Cost Savings: By optimising resource use and reducing waste, companies can significantly cut down on operational costs—particularly energy, water, and raw material costs.

• Compliance: Businesses can benefit from ISO 14001’s ability to ensure compliance with local and international environmental laws and regulations, helping them avoid fines and reputational damage.

• Risk Management: ISO 14001 helps organisations identify environmental risks and opportunities, allowing them to act proactively rather than reactively in case of potential environmental impacts or legal issues.

• Reputation and Market Advantage: Certification can enhance an organization’s reputation, especially among consumers and business partners who value sustainability and environmental stewardship. It also helps businesses gain a competitive edge in the marketplace.
