ISO 14001:2026 Update

What’s Changing and How to Prepare

ISO 14001 is evolving with the new ISO 14001:2026 standard expected on 15th April 2026. But what does this actually mean for your organisation?

In our recent poll, 57% of professionals said they’ve heard about the update but need more information. This webinar is designed to give you exactly that - clear and practical insight into what’s changing, why it matters, and how to prepare.

The 2026 revision reflects a major shift in environmental management, with greater focus on sustainability, climate risk, lifecycle thinking, and business resilience. While the changes are not a complete overhaul, they are strategically important and will impact how organisations manage environmental responsibilities moving forward.

Join our experts James Slade, Alex Foster, Lorraine Smith and Darren Powers, as we break it down in simple terms and show you how to prepare with confidence.

Whether you’re already certified or just exploring ISO 14001, this session will give you the clarity and confidence to take the next step.

Register now to get ahead of ISO 14001:2026.

"Our IMSM Assessor put in a lot of time and effort; they did a really good job for us, helping to organise what we had here. We had a lot of the pieces in place, they just weren’t put together, which IMSM helped us to do. We have a system in place now and we continually follow up on everything. “
