Preparation and Implementation of Environmental Management Systems

There are two internationally recognised, externally accredited environmental management system standards – ISO 14001 and EMAS.

The implementation of one of these standards allows a business demonstrate in a transparent and auditable manner that it effectively manages all environmental aspects of its activities, products and services in a manner that provides a high degree of environmental protection.

An EMS provides the following benefits:

  • helps to ensure ongoing compliance with environmental legislation;
  • can produce considerable cost benefits: more efficient use of energy and water resources, reduced waste;
  • improved corporate image;
  • increased customer confidence;
  • can open new business opportunities in markets where responsible environmental management is a pre-requisite.

Environmental Compliance's environmental management specialists have extensive experience in the development and implementation of an EMS especially tailored to a company's particular needs. Support can consist of any part of, or all of the EMS cycle, ranging from:

  • the design and production of an environmental policy statement;
  • preparation of a baseline environmental review;
  • environmental aspect identification;
  • preparation of detailed environmental management procedure and manuals;
  • the setting of achievable environmental performance targets;
  • assistance in preparing for an external audit.
