Aims
The main aims of this module are to provide you with an understanding of the environmental audit procedure, and the requirements of the International Standards Organisation's (ISO) ISO14010 series of Environmental Auditing Standards.
The environmental audit procedure is broken down into its constituent phases for you to obtain a fuller understanding of the steps which have to be taken in order for an organisation to implement a programme which will benefit not only the environment, but also the organisation itself.
