- An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a set of processes and practices that enable an organization to reduce its environmental impacts and increase its operating efficiency. Basic Elements of an EMS:Reviewing the company's environmental goalsAnalyzing its environmental impacts and legal requirementsSetting environmental objectives and targets to reduce environmental impacts and comply with legal requirementsEstablishing programs to meet these objectives and targetsMonitoring and measuring progress in achieving the objectivesEnsuring employees' environmental awareness and competenceReviewing progress of the EMS and making improvements
- An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a framework that helps a company achieve its environmental goals through consistent control of its operations. The assumption is that this increased control will improve the environmental performance of the company. The EMS itself does not dictate a level of environmental performance that must be achieved; each company's EMS is tailored to the company's business and goals.
- An EMS encourages a company to continuously improve its environmental performance. The system follows a repeating cycle (see figure). The company first commits to an environmental policy, then uses its policy as a basis for establishing a plan, which sets objectives and targets for improving environmental performance. The next step is implementation. After that, the company evaluates its environmental performance to see whether the objectives and targets are being met. If targets are not being met, corrective action is taken. The results of this evaluation are then reviewed by top management to see if the EMS is working. Management revisits the environmental policy and sets new targets in a revised plan. The company then implements the revised plan. The cycle repeats, and continuous improvement occurs.
- 1. Commitment and PolicyTop management commits to environmental improvement and establishes a company environmental policy. The policy is the foundation of the EMS.
- 2. PlanningA company first identifies environmental aspects of its operations. Environmental aspects are those items, such as air pollutants or hazardous waste, that can have negative impacts on people and/or the environment. A company then determines which aspects are significant by choosing criteria considered most important by the company. For example, a company may choose worker health and safety, environmental compliance, and cost as its criteria. Once significant environmental aspects are determined, a company sets objectives and targets. An objective is an overall environmental goal (e.g., minimize use of chemical X). A target is a detailed, quantified requirement that arises from the objectives (e.g., reduce use of chemical X by 25% by September 1998). The final part of the planning stage is devising an action plan for meeting the targets. This includes designating responsibilities, establishing a schedule, and outlining clearly defined steps to meet the targets.The devised action plan for meeting the targets must include: Responsibility designationAn established scheduleClearly defined steps to meet targets
- 3. ImplementationA company follows through with the action plan using the necessary resources (human, financial, etc.). An important component is employee training and awareness for all employees. Other steps in the implementation stage include documentation, following operating procedures, and setting up internal and external communication lines.Follow throughEmployee awareness and trainingDocumentationStandard Operating ProceduresCommunication
- 4. EvaluationA company monitors its operations to evaluate whether targets are being met. If not, the company takes corrective action.5. ReviewTop management reviews the results of the evaluation to see if the EMS is working. Management determines whether the original environmental policy is consistent with company values. The plan is then revised to optimize the effectiveness of the EMS. The review stage creates a loop of continuous improvement for a company.
