The Environmental Management System (EMS) is part of a management system of an organization (enterprise, authority, etc.), in which specific competencies, behaviours, procedures and demands for the implementation of an operational environmental policy of the organization are defined.
Within the European Union (EU) a voluntary piece of Legislation was introduced to encourage business to adopt EMS/ISO 14000
Regulation (EC) No 761/2001 OF THE European Parliament and of the Council of 19 March 2001 allowing voluntary participation by organisations in a Community eco-management and audit scheme (EMAS)
The implementation of a robust EMS , which may incorporate ISO 14001 should lead to improved environmental performance, including better and more consistent legal compliance.
