In April 2026, the ISO\/FDIS 14001:2026 standard relating to environmental management systems is expected to be published. Given the significant number of changes from the current 2015 version of ISO 14001, a transition period has been introduced until 2029, but organisations should not delay their preparations.<\/p>\n

The key changes include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. taking into account environmental conditions \u2013 including climate risks, biodiversity and resource availability \u2013 in organisational objectives and activities;<\/li>\n
  2. defining the scope of environmental management through a life-cycle perspective, including impacts before and after the organisation\u2019s activities that it can control or influence;<\/li>\n
  3. identifying and planning changes in a controlled manner, assessing related risks and managing them systematically to achieve the intended outcomes;<\/li>\n
  4. enhanced oversight of externally provided processes, products and services \u2013 not limited to outsourcing in a narrow sense;<\/li>\n
  5. direct involvement and accountability of senior management, even where tasks are delegated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In practice, this means that organisations will need to reassess their existing environmental management systems in order to identify areas of non-compliance, develop action plans, implement new requirements and provide appropriate training to management on their expanded responsibilities.<\/p>\n
