Environmental management systems (EMS)

 

Legislation, supply chain pressure and customer concerns are driving organisations to improve their environmental performance and demonstrate improvement and compliance. Environmental management systems (EMS) are designed for exactly that purpose.

Whatever the size of your business, systems can help you do things better. An environmental management system (EMS) simply helps you do what you do but with a reduced impact on the environment. This keeps costs and risk down whilst ensuring your business remains innovative. 

At Global Action Plan we offer the added benefit of being able to develop your EMS quicker and more effectively using our EMS Easy toolkit. More bonuses with less cost.

What is EMS Easy?

EMS Easy is a smart, informal and lean way of implementing an EMS. The idea behind EMS Easy is to simplify the process of certification by replacing a paper-based approach to managing environmental performance, with something more visual and intuitive, taking as its starting-point ‘what is happening on the ground’.

Implementation using EMS Easy typically takes 4 to 9 months, compared with the usual 15 to 18 months. Staff and consultancy time is, on average, reduced by 50% and ISO 14001 is now possible for companies of whatever size. EMS Easy can benefit everyone, from sole traders to large corporations.

New training courses are starting each month in London, Bristol, Exeter and Bodmin.
