Environmental Management Systems (EMS) involve a set of processes and practices that enable an organisation to reduce its environmental impacts and increase its operating efficiency. A well-designed EMS can help an organisation address its regulatory demands in a systematic manner, thereby reducing the risk of noncompliance. An EMS can also help address non-regulated issues such as pollution prevention, odor management, water usage and energy conservation.

In this course, you will learn about EMS and how it can benefit your organisation. Through the use of a Case Study and information about your own company, you will create a draft EMS for your organisation. It will include organisational Environmental Aspect and Impacts, and Objectives and Targets for your organisation’s significant environmental impacts.
