In the complex and high-stakes world of logistics, upholding strong safety, quality, and environmental standards is not merely a regulatory requirement; it is a fundamental pillar of operational resilience, brand reputation, and sustainable growth. The logistics industry addresses these challenges by implementing recognized management systems such as ISO45001, ISO9001, and ISO14001, while also meeting broader expectations for ESG performance.Traditionally, ensuring compliance and driving continuous improvement within ISO systems has often been confined to specialized departments. However, to foster a culture of shared responsibility, organizations are increasingly recognizing the strategic importance of expanding their pool of internal auditors so that compliance obligations are addressed at every level of operations.With the rise of AI and its associated applications, organizations can overcome the challenges of limited resources in developing their internal auditor pools.  The role of AI becomes a transformative solution, serving not only as an employee development initiative but also as a key driver in accelerating the transition from operational roles to skilled assurance professionals.This specialized training program is designed for logistics professionals, equipping them with cutting-edge tools and methodologies to conduct internal audits with unprecedented efficiency and insight, particularly focusing on ISO45001 compliance. The skills acquired are highly transferable, enabling seamless application across other critical ISO management systems, such as ISO9001 and ISO14001.CERTIFICATION (Attendance 100%) Delegates who successfully completed the course will be issued a Certificate by SGS Hong Kong Ltd.GENERAL INFORMATION • Venue: T.S.T. / Kwun Tong / Wan Chai / Sheung Wan/ Jordan Training Centre / HKSTP / TBC• Medium: Mandarin (supplemented with English materials)*Discount will be offered to SGS certified clients, all enrolment made one month prior to the course or online booking
