Replay now available: ISO 14001:2026 revisions webinar

UKAS News - Thu, 03/26/2026 - 11:25

The replay of UKAS’s recent webinar on the ISO 14001:2026 revisions is now available.

During the webinar, the expert panel – chaired by Director of Corporate, Certification and Verification, Leanie Du Toit – explored how rising expectations around environmental performance, transparency and sustainability are shaping the next version of the standard. From climate change and biodiversity to resource use and supply chain impacts, speakers highlighted how these issues are central – not optional -for organisations.

Leanie highlighted the intent behind the revision:

“It is about ensuring ISO 14001 remains current, practical and effective, and continues to support organisations in improving environmental performance in a way that is credible and globally relevant.”

The panel also provided a practical perspective on what the revision is expected to mean in application. While organisations are not expected to rebuild their management systems, a number of targeted updates will require changes to processes, documentation and system design.

There is a clear move towards more explicit and structured requirements, with stronger alignment across clauses and greater emphasis on demonstrating effective environmental performance. This includes more defined expectations around risk and opportunity management, planning of change, supply chain control and the availability of reliable, accessible evidence.

A key takeaway from the session was the importance of early preparation. Organisations are encouraged to begin identifying gaps, raising awareness across teams and embedding sustainability more deeply into decision-making ahead of transition.

The full webinar recording is now available to watch on demand.
