Beyond Compliance - Training Workshop

ISO 14001 provides a framework to implement environmental management systems in organisations, to achieve continuous improvement for environmental performance.

Beyond Compliance is a series of interactive workshops to encourage participants to self-assess their own environmental management system and determine the extent to which the system is mature and continuing to add real value to the organisation.

Running a standard or customised course at your premises allows you to shape the message and style of the presentation to suit the culture of your organisation. It is the most convenient and cost-effective solution if you wish to train a number of staff in the same location, or when confidentiality is an issue. Once we have agreed the dates and location for your training course, our experts work with you to identify and evaluate your learning objectives and to customise the course content to ensure they are met

At the end of the workshops participants will be able to:

• Identify where the system is fulfilling principles of best practice, or conversely where there is scope for system enhancement
• Understand the current maturity status of their environmental management system
• Understand the extent to which the management system is ‘joined-up’ in terms of Plan, Do, Check, Act.

The workshops are designed to be a useful tool for organisations with an already established 14001 management system. Working in small groups, participants self-assess their system against suggested criteria, ranging from practices that ‘pass’ an audit, through to principles of best practice.

Participants will consider their own system in terms of evidence that they could present to demonstrate maturity and best practice. At the end of each workshop, groups shall feedback on what they believe to be the status of the EMS, debate amongst themselves on the feedback and ultimately achieve consensus over the status of the management system in regards to where best practice is being achieved or where enhancement is possible.

This session will help participants to harmonise their day-to-day activities with the strategic direction of the organisation, leading them to identify meaningful actions based on insights into ‘what good looks like’ to provide them with a practical roadmap to increase efficiencies and support sustainable growth.
