Environmental Management Systems (EMS) are a daunting task despite the many benefits which come from improved performance. Organisations with no existing EMS will need to assess the scope of their environmental aspects and legal obligations and decide the measures required for successful implementation.
We can review your organisation to provide a clear and concise road map for ISO14001, EMAS or BS8555 implementation. This will include:
- identification of environmental aspects, including those associated with normal operating conditions, abnormal operating conditions and emergency situations and accidents
- identification of applicable legal requirements and other requirements to which the organisation subscribes
- examination of existing practices and procedures, including those associated with procurement and contracting activities
- evaluation of previous emergency situations and accidents
- evaluation of performance compared with applicable internal criteria, external standards, regulations, codes of practice and sets of principles and guidelines
- opportunities for competitive advantage, including cost reduction opportunities
- views of interested parties
- senior management attitudes to environmental performance
- organisational structure
- company understanding of environmental legislation, including keeping up to date
- environmental training
- additional measures required to gain certification/registration with ISO14001, EMAS or BS8555
Producing an EMS does not need to be difficult task. Our reviews will prioritise the actions required for smooth implementation and you will be supported by a team of environmental consultants with a proven track record assisting clients to achieve certification / registration.
