This ISO 14001 Implementation: Building an Environmental Management System session in London runs from Monday 15 March to Friday 19 March 2027 (week 11, Q1 2027). It is the 1st of 2 dates in London in 2027, at a fee of 23,000 SAR, the same for each of them. Registration is open for this date. It is held in person at Central London four-star.
Organisations face rising expectations from customers, investors and communities to control pollution, resource use and climate-related risk, and the 2026 revision of ISO 14001 raises the bar on context, life cycle thinking and change control. Many environmental management systems exist mainly on paper, with aspect registers that miss real site activities and audits that find little. This Core Concept course equips managers to implement an environmental management system that works in practice, from gap assessment to operational control and management review. Participants apply each requirement through a guided walkthrough and leave with an EMS Implementation Plan.
Course Objectives
Assess current environmental practice against ISO 14001:2026 and define the scope of the environmental management system
Identify environmental aspects, compliance obligations, risks and opportunities, and evaluate their significance
Set an environmental policy, objectives and action plans that leadership can own

Why Attend This Course
Return to work with an EMS Implementation Plan and aspects register drawn from a real walkthrough, not a template
Walk a site or process and recognise the environmental aspects and control gaps that paper reviews miss
Plan the move from ISO 14001:2015 to the 2026 edition with a clear view of what has changed
Compare implementation approaches with managers from manufacturing, construction, utilities and services in other countries
Conclusion
An environmental management system earns its place when it changes how sites operate, not when it produces documents. This course moves from the context and structure of ISO 14001:2026, through aspects, compliance obligations and planning, to the operational controls, indicators, audits and reviews that keep the system effective. The final day applies these requirements in a guided walkthrough and turns the findings into an EMS Implementation Plan that participants take back to their organisation, ready to guide the next stage of implementation.
ISO 14001 Implementation: Building an Environmental Management System runs in London over 5 days, with 2 upcoming dates in London. The course fee is 23,000 SAR.
