Course overview

An EMS organises environmental management around objectives, responsibilities and performance review. The programme examines its principles and benefits, including reduced environmental impact, regulatory compliance and organisational reputation. An introduction on Day 1 covers the business case, ISO 14001 and other relevant standards through discussion of environmental challenges and opportunities. Planning on Day 2 begins with a review of aspects and impacts, then sets objectives and targets and develops a policy for a simulated organisation.

Implementation turns plans into procedures. During Day 3, delegates examine roles, operational controls and employee training and awareness, and create a procedure for an environmental aspect. Monitoring on Day 4 addresses measurement, internal audit, management review and corrective actions for non-conformities, including a mock audit. The closing sessions connect waste reduction, energy efficiency and resource conservation with sustainability and organisational success. Stakeholder engagement and regular EMS reviews and updates accompany improvement plans; quizzes and exercises reinforce the work, and a workbook, daily breaks and Q&A are included.
