Global Energy Up is an independent certification body for management systems and a validation and verification body for greenhouse-gas information. We audit and decide; we do not consult.
ISO 14001:2026
Environmental management
Compliance handled case by case eventually meets a case nobody handled.
ISO 14001 certification demonstrates that an organization understands its environmental aspects, meets its compliance obligations and manages environmental performance through a system rather than through individual initiatives.
Who it is for. Industrial plants, construction and infrastructure, logistics, utilities and any organization with significant environmental aspects or permit obligations.
- Environmental aspects and impacts, including a life-cycle perspective
- Compliance obligations and the evaluation of compliance
- Environmental objectives and the plans to achieve them
- Operational control, including outsourced processes
- Emergency preparedness and response
- Monitoring of environmental performance and management review
Each area above is assessed on objective evidence — records, interviews and direct observation of work.
How the audit runs
Audit time is determined under the applicable IAF rules for environmental management systems (Global ACI / legacy IAF Mandatory Documents), including the environmental complexity category of the activities. Remote auditing never reduces the required audit time.
01.
Stage 1
Review of documentation, readiness and scope, and planning of Stage 2.
02.
Stage 2
On-site evaluation of implementation and effectiveness; findings are recorded.
03.
Decision & surveillance
An independent decision, then annual surveillance through the three-year cycle.
Edition and transition
ISO 14001:2026 was published in April 2026. Certification to ISO 14001:2015 remains available during the transition period set for this revision; every certificate names the edition audited.
Auditing with other standards
Where the system is integrated with others, the standards can be audited together in one visit; duration is calculated for each standard and then adjusted for the actual degree of integration.
- What do I need to apply?
- Why do you ask about consultancy?Because we do not certify a system on which a body related to us provided consultancy, and every application is screened for conflicts of interest before it is accepted.
- Will the certificate carry an accreditation mark?Not before accreditation is granted. Certificates are currently issued without an accreditation mark.
