Mitigating climate change is one of the most pressing issues confronting organizations today, and the international Organization for Standardization is meeting the challenge by updating many of the world’s most important management system standards.
To address this important topic and help conformity-assessment professionals better understand these changes, DEKRA will be sponsoring the live webinar, “Staying Compliant: Considering Climate Change in ISO Management Systems.” The event, hosted by Exemplar Global, takes place on Friday, October 11 at 2 p.m. U.S. Eastern time. The featured speakers will be Kevin Campbell, Technical Director of DEKRA Audit North America and a senior member of ASQ; and Dale Isaacs, President of Brentwood Management Consulting and the Isaacs Consulting Group as well as the Vice Chair for the U.S. Technical Advisory Group to ISO/TC 176.

The 2024 amendments to key ISO management system standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 (specifically clauses 4.1 and 4.2) require organizations to now consider climate change as a critical external factor in their management systems.
There is no transition period. Management teams are required to immediately assess whether climate change is relevant to the development, maintenance, and effectiveness of their management systems.
In this webinar, attendees will gain practical insight into what these changes mean for registered organizations and how auditing should proceed. Discussion points will include:
- Assessing the relevance of climate change to the organization
- Integrating these considerations into the organization’s management systems
- Ensuring compliance during audits
Whether you are involved in quality management, environmental management, or other relevant focus areas, and/or especially if you perform audits against these standards, this webinar will equip you with the knowledge and tools to meet this mandate. Don’t miss this opportunity to understand how these updates will affect your business and what steps you can take to prepare.
Remember, the joint DEKRA-Exemplar Global webinar, “Staying Compliant: Considering Climate Change in ISO Management Systems,” happens live on Friday, October 11 at 2 p.m. U.S. Eastern time. To register for free, visit online here.
