Course description

Enterprises and business organizations are some of the top contributors to global carbon emissions. Some primary reasons for this phenomenon are mismanagement, improper implementation of environmental ethics, and lack of a functioning environmental management system (EMS). However, many organizations are willing to modify their practices to become more eco-friendly. In this regard, the International Organization for Standardization has developed a family of standards known as ISO 14000.

The ISO 14000 comprises three standards that help organizations develop and manage a functioning EMS. However, the main focus of this course is the ISO 14005 standard, which emphasizes helping organizations stay consistent in their EMS implementation, improvement, and continuous improvement. After enrolling in this course, students can get a detailed explanation of clauses 4, 5, and 6.

The course also explains the relationship between an effective EMS and the PDCA (plan-do-check-act) cycle. Moreover, the phased approach stated in the standard, along with its six stages, is also detailed in this course. Furthermore, enrollees will also be able to understand the relationship between the Maturity Matrix and Annexes A and B of ISO 14500. The course's developers have included various interesting graphics throughout the material to make the explanation of the standard easier for you to comprehend.
