ISO 14001:2026 Transition Beyond Conformance

From Environmental Management to Resilient and Responsible Supply Chains.

Long before information appears in a sustainability report, environmental data generated across the value chain influences supplier credibility, procurement decisions and supply chain confidence. Today's information becomes tomorrow's reporting evidence.

Environmental information generated at the SME and supplier level increasingly contributes to decision-making across manufacturers, OEMs, procurement networks and global value chains.

This workshop explores how ISO 14001:2026 can help organizations strengthen environmental management, improve the quality and credibility of sustainability-related information, and build more resilient supply chains.

Using practical South African case studies, participants will explore how environmental data and performance can flow through the supply chain — from energy, water and waste management to climate-related considerations, resource efficiency and broader sustainability expectations.

The 2026 edition builds on the established ISO 14001 framework while providing clearer guidance and stronger alignment with current environmental priorities, including climate change, biodiversity and resource efficiency.
