Environmental Management Systems
An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a tool for managing the impacts of an organisation’s activities on the environment.
It provides a structured approach to planning and implementing environment protection measures.
An EMS monitors environmental performance, similar to the way a financial management system monitors expenditure and income and enables regular checks of a company’s financial performance. An EMS integrates environmental management into a company’s daily operations, long term planning and other quality management systems.
