EMS training needs in a QMS

Answer
I miss the context of the situation to give a straight answer. There is no requirement in ISO 9001:2015 that makes mandatory the implementation of an EMS. What can happen is that your organization may have customers that require that their suppliers have an EMS. In that case the auditors’ comment is understandable. Another possibility is that your organization developed internal environmental practices that are not being followed and that is why auditors said that you need to train employees about your environmental practices.
