In this episode of Exploring Standards, host Jess is joined by Kathy Clements, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 Consultant and Head of Business Development & Partnerships at Assent Risk Management. Together, they take a deep dive into Assent’s anonymised Non-Conformance Log, revealing the Top 5 ISO 14001 non-conformances identified between April 2020 and April 2025.
Drawing on findings from both internal audits and certification body assessments, Kathy shares insights into the most common challenges organisations face when implementing and maintaining an ISO 14001 Environmental Management System. From identifying environmental aspects to managing compliance obligations, this data-driven discussion highlights where businesses often fall short — and what they can do to improve.
