When
deciding who to do business with, more and more customers
are looking for organisations that take their environmental
duties seriously and it can often be a contract
requirement. Having an Environmental Management
System (EMS) can be the difference between your
organisation winning or loosing a contract.
Implementation is not as expensive or as difficult as it
may appear and often can give overall cost savings to an
organisation.
Environmental Management System is
defined by The International Standards Organisation as
"Part of an organisations management system used to
develop and implement its environmental policy and
manage its environmental aspects." In practice
this includes the
organizational structure for the management, planning activities,
responsibilities, practices, procedures, processes and
resources.
Implementation can be daunting for an organization that
does not have
their own in-house expertise.
We can design and create the whole EMS for you from scratch
or from an existing Policy Statement. We will
first discuss with you your business activities and
processes and then develop the best solution based on cost benefit analysis.
Our IEMA (Institute of
Environmental Management and Assessment) qualified
consultant will design and help your organizations implement
an EMS to the internationally recognised ISO 14001
standard. The first step will be to develop an environmental policy,
this is a
document that states the overall intentions of an
organization related to its environmental performance.
This will form the foundation of the
company’s EMS and
demonstrates to stake holders the organisations commitment to
the environment.
The cost of implementing an
Environmental Management System will depend on the size
and complexity of your organisation and its business
activities with prices
starting from £980.
