Environmental Management

Why Does Your Organisation Need an Environmental Management System?

The management of environmental issues is becoming an integral system within an increasing number of organisations and changes in legislation from both UK and European sources mean that there are now very few businesses that are not subject to legal compliance or impacted by environmental issues. Effective internal and external management of environmental issues is now essential.

With this increase in legislative requirements comes increasingly stringent enforcement from bodies such as the 'Environment Agency' and local authorities. The increasing number (and continual rise in level of monitoring and regulation) of requirements brings with it an added degree of complexity to the management of environmental issues.

Increasing awareness of environmental issues and their management has lead to more and more businesses 'auditing' or 'vetting' both contractors and sub-contractors and rejecting contracts with those businesses who don't demonstrate a certain level of awareness and management of environmental issues.

Requests for 'Environmental Impact Statements' and 'Site Waste Management Plans' are becoming more and more commonplace.

As a result of increased awareness and increase in taxes and financial penalties, practices such as waste minimisation, waste management, re-cycling and conservation are now commonplace.

It has been proven by many organisations that a commitment to environmental improvement increases both competitiveness and available marketplace whilst reducing costs.
