LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP ALIGNED WITH ISO 14001:2015

INTRODUCTION

In today’s rapidly evolving regulatory and environmental landscape, organizations must go beyond traditional environmental management practices. The ISO 14001:2015 standard introduces the concept of life cycle thinking as a critical element in identifying and controlling environmental impacts throughout the value chain — from raw material acquisition to end-of-life disposal. 

This 1-day Life Cycle Management Workshop is designed to help organizations understand and apply life cycle thinking in alignment with ISO 14001:2015 requirements. The course provides practical insights into how life cycle considerations can be integrated into planning, operations, procurement, and product development, ultimately contributing to better environmental performance and sustainability outcomes.
