About this episode

The episode discusses the ISO 14001:2026 update and its implications for certified organizations.

In this episode of The Quality Hub: Chatting with ISO Experts, host Xavier Francis sits down with CORE consultant Norm Verbeck to discuss the ISO 14001:2026 update and what currently certified organizations should expect. They break down the most important changes, including stronger emphasis on environmental context, climate-related risks, biodiversity, resource constraints, and more. Norm explains that the update is not a complete overhaul, but rather an evolution that requires organizations to show clearer awareness, better decision-making, and stronger alignment between environmental management and business strategy as they prepare for the typical three-year transition period.
