The new version of the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System standard (ISO 14001:2026), developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), will be published as of April 2026.

According to preliminary information shared by the International Organization for Standardization, the new version retains the existing structure while being made clearer, more practical, and better aligned with today’s environmental priorities.

As also stated in the brochure published by the International Organization for Standardization, the ISO 14001 standard is used by more than 300,000 organizations in over 170 countries worldwide, helping organizations manage their environmental impacts, optimize costs, and improve their sustainability performance.

With the new version:

• The structure of the standard has been simplified and made easier to understand,
• Greater emphasis has been placed on current issues such as climate change, biodiversity, and resource efficiency,
• Integration with other management systems such as ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 has been made easier.
