ISO 14001:2015 Auditor Transition Course (Module 1 & 2 Combined Course)

The international community has reached a consensus on taking control actions on mitigating the environmental impact from climate change. Many countries had already established target for achieving carbon neutral. The government of China and Hong Kong had made commitment on carbon neutrality in 2050 and 2060 respectively. In order to respond to the demands of all parties to achieve carbon neutrality, different organizations in the society are facing huge challenges in their operations.ISO 14068-1 is new international guidance published in 2023 which provides a standard approach for allowing entities to achieve and demonstrate carbon neutrality. This guidance is applicable to both organizations and products (including events and buildings). By following the specifications of ISO 14068-1 to manage the carbon emissions generated during its operation, seeking an approved way to offset the remaining carbon emissions, and declaring to be carbon neutral, it is believed that entities can actively respond to the demands of society and the market.Through the 1-day training, delegates are expected to grasp the principle and requirement as well as the road-map for demonstrating carbon neutrality specified on ISO 14068-1.
