EMS ISO14000

Environmental Management System Consultancy & Auditor Training Courses

It has become a requirement for organizations to address the environment in order to maintain customers, and thrive in an ever more critical global economy.

Our EMS specifies requirements for an environmental management system to enable an organization to develop & implement a policy and objectives which take into account legal requirements and other requirements to which the organization subscribes, and information about significant environmental aspects. It applies to those environmental aspects that the organization identifies as those, which it can control, and those, which it can influence.

EMS Standards available:
There are a number of standards available, around which we can model our Environmental Management System, or EMS.

  • On the international scene mostly widely accepted is ISO14001. This standard was selected in 1996, and forms part of the ISO14000 series of standards providing not only a specification but also guidance and advice on implementing a wide range of environmental subjects including auditing, labeling, life-cycle assessment etc.
  • At the European level we have EMAS, or the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme. This was introduced by a European Union council regulation (No.1836/93), requiring implementation in all European Union Member States. EMAS was formally introduced in the United Kingdom in April 1995. Although the scheme itself is mandatory in all EU Countries it is, at present, a voluntary scheme for individual companies who must be within the industrial sector. It is intended to provide recognition for those companies who have established a programme of environmental action designed to protect, and to continuously improve, their environmental performance.
  • UK has had its own EMS Standard, BS7750, since 1992 and increasing number of companies, within and without the UK, has achieved Registration to it. The requirements of BS7750 slightly different to ISO 14001)
