Environmental Management Systems (EMS) Implementation
What is it?
An EMS is a continual cycle of planning, implementing, reviewing, and improving the actions that an organization takes to meet its environmental obligations. It is a systematic approach to ensure continued compliance, increase facility-wide awareness of environmental management, increase opportunities for pollution prevention, and develop new ways to go "beyond compliance."
What is our program?
The EMS Incentive Program was developed under a law that became effective August 11, 2000, called "An Act to Encourage Environmental Management Systems" and designed to assist in EMS implementation.
In addition to providing environmental benefits, an EMS makes good business sense. An EMS can help protect our environment to a degree that is not attainable through traditional regulatory programs alone. It can help an organization ensure continual compliance, decrease legal liabilities, ease regulatory oversight, improve corporate image, and improve marketability.
