The internal audit process begins with planning, where audit objectives, scope, and criteria are established. Trained auditors then conduct audits by reviewing environmental documentation, conducting site inspections, and interviewing personnel. They assess the organisation’s compliance with environmental regulations, identify areas of non-compliance or improvement, and propose corrective actions.

Internal audits play a crucial role in enhancing environmental performance and sustainability practices within organisations. They help identify opportunities to reduce resource consumption, minimise waste generation, and mitigate pollution risks. By identifying areas for improvement, internal audits support continuous improvement efforts, driving organisations towards more sustainable operations.

ISO 14001 internal audits are essential for organisations committed to environmental responsibility. They demonstrate a proactive approach to environmental management, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, and contribute to the preservation of natural resources and ecosystems for future generations. Our ISO 14001 training course encompasses the environmental standard’s prerequisites, equipping participants with the understanding of planning and preparing for audits.
