Environmental assessments, implementation to Certification of Environmental Management Systems 14001 (EMS) in both mining and non-mining sector. Environmental Management Systems (EMS) can be used to reduce an organisation’s environmental impacts and improve operating efficiencies while demonstrating to stakeholders and interested parties that real action is being taken.
An EMS is geared to help organisations identify, manage, monitor, and control their environmental performance in a holistic manner. For instance, risk assessments will be undertaken to help identify the context of your environmental impact. Controls will then be put in place to help manage these risks, and strategies designed to reduce them. By implementing an EMS, an organisation will consider all environmental issues that are relevant to its operations.
