Management Systems
Environmental Management Systems are internationally recognised as an effective way to create a greener business.
Benefits include:
- Increased profits through efficiency changes which produce both economic and environmental savings
- Active reduction of the risk of fines for non-compliance with environmental legislation
- Target setting to ensure all operations have procedures that minimise their environmental impacts and help improve performance
- Increased investment and shareholdings
- Identification of opportunities to reduce waste in utility consumption along with raw materials and the cost associated with disposing of waste itself
An effective EMS includes a written policy of the aims and objectives which forms the basis of an environmental policy. Carbonless will assess and develop an overview of the organisational mission and ensure that this is integrated with environmental strategy. This includes outlining motivational objectives, the targets to be achieved and the future programme set forth by management.
An EMS should form part of the overall business strategy and act as a communication to all staff, shareholders, suppliers, and customers. Our consultancy services include training and development to ensure that an environmental strategy becomes an embedded part of your organisational culture, from employees to boardroom. Other aspects of an EMS that Carbonless have been able to assist with in the past include:
- Assessment of organisational activities, products, and services that might affect the environment
- Environmental improvement programmes, which incorporated written procedures that give greater control to those activities where the environmental impact is more significant
- Training programmes to raise awareness and encourage pro-activity regarding environmental issues
- Regular Auditing of the EMS to ensue effective and efficient operation
- A formal review of the EMS on an agreed timescale
