This programme provides an overview of the key revisions in ISO 14001:2026 and explains what they mean for organisations maintaining an Environmental Management System or planning to transition one.
The session focuses on strategic alignment, the raised expectations on environmental performance, climate-related considerations and regulatory integration, with particular attention to organisations operating in India.
