Environmental Management System

An environmental management system (EMS) is a set of procedures that helps align corporate strategies with environmental protection. An EMS follows the ISO 14001 standard and the PDCA (plan-do-check-act) cycle. It involves planning environmental objectives and targets, implementing operational controls, monitoring performance, and reviewing to improve continuously. Benefits of an EMS include sustained performance, cost savings, easier compliance, and improved morale.
