ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS & ISO 14000

An Environmental Management System is a strategic system, self designed and implemented, which integrates the environment into the business decision making process. An EMS will enable an organization to understand environmental effects of its business and enhance environmental performance through self directed continual improvement processes.

 The greatest benefit which your facility will obtain from conducting an EMS will be gaining control of operational activities and the associated environmental risk, liability or change. This will provide your facility the assurance that it’s performance conforms, now and in the future, with legal and policy requirements, ultimately resulting in improved performance. These benefits will allow your facility to grow and expand while sustaining minimal Environmental Risk and Liability.

 Envirologic will assist your organization by facilitating development and implementation of the EMS process. Envirologic will provide assistance through:

  • Regulatory Compliance Assessments 
  • Gap Analysis 
  • Strategic Environmental Planning Sessions 
  • Design of Integrated Environmental Databases 
  
  • Design of Integrated Contingency Plans 
  • Employee Training Requirements

The major benefits of an EMS are:
  • Identify, evaluate and control existing and future environmental risk 
  • Identify, evaluate and control existing and future operations which may influence the environment
