What is an environmental management system and what is ISO 14000?

An environmental management system (EMS) forms part of a company’s overall management system. It is used to develop the company’s environmental policy and to ensure that it complies with that policy. EMS provides a framework for the firm to identify those aspects of its business that have a significant impact on the environment, to set objectives and targets to minimize this impact, and to develop programmes for achieving targets as well as other operational control measures to ensure compliance with the firm’s environmental policy.
