BUSINESS environmental management systems. One thing seems clear however environmentalmanagement systems are here to stay, and they deserve a closer look.
http://www.rec.org/REC/Bulletin/Bull61/business.html

Extractions: B U S I N E S S With the implementation of new and stricter legislation and significant improvement in its enforcement, it is becoming increasingly clear that CEE businesses need to consider environmental issues in order to remain competitive, or even in some cases to avoid closure. One way for a company to address the environmental impact of its activities is to introduce an environmental management system (EMS). There are a number of standards applied on an international, European, and national basis which can be used as a model for an environmental management system. The best known among them are ISO 14000, EMAS, and BS7750. ISO 14001, the environmental management standard to be issued by the International Standard Organization in the second half of 1996, is part of the ISO 14000 series of standards providing specification and guidance on a range of environmental issues including management, auditing, labeling, and life-cycle assessment. Much of the interest in ISO 14000 results from the success of the ISO 9000 standard, a voluntary program for quality management. The European EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme), was introduced by the EU Council and implemented in European Union member states in 1995. Presently, it is a voluntary scheme for individual companies within the industrial sector.

Extractions: and facts Tools ... Links An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a framework developed by an organization to help improve its environmental performance by taking environmental considerations into account when making decisions and managing risks. The development and implementation of an EMS also helps to ensure departments and agencies meet legislation and policy objectives, and demonstrate due diligence. Government of Canada departments and agencies must develop an EMS. Federal departments have been mandated by the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development (CESD) to model their EMS after the International Organization for Standardization The 28 Government of Canada departments and agencies targeted by the SDGO initiative manage close to 40,000 leased and owned facilities. It is a priority that they develop and implement an EMS for all of their owned facilities to ensure an environmentally-responsible management of these buildings. An EMS should be developed and implemented in leased facilities as well. In the case of leased facilities, the aspects of energy, water and waste are usually reported by the owner.

Extractions: HOME BROCHURE EMS TOOLS PUBLIC FORUMS ... Ag EMS A livestock EMS is a systematic approach to identify, correct and monitor the environmental performance of a livestock enterprise. It involves a continuous cycle of risk assessment, action planning, implementation, review and improvement to fully integrate environmental responsibility into the business of farming. This project organizes a support system for livestock producers to positively address environmental and community health concerns through partnerships between agricultural organizations and public agencies. The project goal is to develop and evaluate environmental assessment and decision-support aids with which livestock producers can address local priority water and air quality issues. In general, this four year project: starts with stakeholder input through roundtable discussion of supportive strategies for reducing impacts of livestock manure on the environment and public health; works with three commodity organizations to develop, pilot test and evaluate environmental management assessment system materials and delivery approaches in nine states (Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Montana, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin);

http://www.storaenso.com/CDAvgn/main/0,,1_-2090-2055-,00.html

Extractions: Voluntary environmental management systems are the primary means for Stora Enso to translate the Groupâs environmental principles to practice. They ensure that units focus on the most critical issues in each location where the company operates, and they are also a good way to provide information about the environmental aspects of the Groupâs products. Environmental management systems answer the following important questions: Is environmental work being carried out effectively? Have targets been achieved? What are the plans for the future? The European Unionâs latest Environmental Action Programme strongly emphasises the need to use market-oriented and consumer-oriented tools to promote sustainable development. The renewal of EMAS regulations in 2001 has facilitated significant improvements in Europe by, for instance, encouraging the use of the EMAS logo in marketing to signify continuous improvements in environmental performance. Stora Enso was one of the first companies to adopt third-party audited systems like EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) and ISO 14001, and to realise the benefits of transparency in environmental quality work.

Extractions: SAIC analyzed the environmental compliance and performance of 169 ISO-certified facilities in the United States. The analysis included a statistical comparison of compliance and environmental performance of ISO-certified facilities to facilities in the same industrial classification, as well as a characterization of ISO-certified facilities by industrial classification, geographical location, and registrar. Development of an EMS Standard for an EPA Voluntary Program As part of its support to the development and implementation of a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) voluntary program, SAIC compared several environmental management system standards, including ISO 14001, NSF (National Science Foundation) 110, and CMA's (Chemical Manufacturers Association) Responsible Care Program. The purpose of the comparison was to assist EPA in developing a hybrid EMS implementation guide, which provided supplemental information on designing and implementing the program EMS. The guide was similar in scope to ISO 14004. SAIC also compared various auditor qualifications associated with EMS and other standards. Similar in scope to the EMS comparison, the purpose of the auditor comparison was to identify a hybrid qualification suitable for use in EPA's voluntary program.

Extractions: Use and Storage of PCBs Since the Guide to Green Government was published in 1995, the federal government has been actively involved in the design and implementation of Environmental Management Systems (EMS) for its operations. Most departments have chosen to model their EMS after the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14000 series of environmental standards, which include ISO 14001 and ISO 14004, a standard and guideline respectively, describing the essential elements of EMS. An EMS is a management tool that provides a framework for practices, procedures and processes to manage an organization's environmental agenda, and documents, communicates and evaluates environmental performance. Quite simply, it is a systematic approach to incorporating the environment into every business decision. An EMS also provides an auditable system for tracking, managing and improving environmental performance. As such, an EMS should be integrated within an organization's existing management structure, in much the same way as a financial management system. Clarification of SDS vs. EMS

Environmental issues are more and more associated with virtually all aspects of an organisation's management, from financing to production, from marketing to corporate reporting. In this scenario, it is all the more important to have a systematic and integrated approach to the following question: how to manage environmental issues throughout the companies' activities? How to consistently and visibly improve a company's environmental performance? UNEP , the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) have just updated their best seller: UNEP/ FIDIC/ICC Environmental Management System Training Resource Kit The Kit is a practical guide to environmental management system (EMS) designed as a "train the trainer" tool to give trainers and company managers the elements necessary to conduct courses in EMS for companies. It can however very well be used by all those interested in understanding EMS and implementing it in their organisation.
