An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a management tool for evaluating specific activities of your company. To recognize the environmental impacts associated with those activities. Once identified, those aspects will be managed by monitoring resources (money, people, products/materials, and processes) to reduce negative and enhance positive impacts. The key concepts of an EMS are intended to help your company understand the full range of its environmental impact, prioritize and effectively manage its programs, track and document its progress.
