Environmental sustainability is one of the biggest challenges we face in our global community. Organizations are conducting business within complex legal structures, while stakeholder demands are increasing and environmental performance expectations are becoming more onerous. To operate effectively in this environment organizations are now required to demonstrate proactive management of the environmental impacts of their business activities. Effective environmental management involves incorporating environmentally responsible practices into everyday business processes.
What is an Environmental Management System (EMS)?
An Environmental Management System is a framework, which can be integrated with existing business processes to effectively identify, measure, manage and control environmental impacts and hence environmental risks. An Environmental Management System also establishes the means for improving performance and moving towards environmental sustainability through best practice such as ISO 14001.
The International Standard ISO 14001:2004, Environmental Management Systems lists the requirements that most organizations set out to achieve.
