About OPP An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a continual cycle of planning, implementing, reviewing and improving the actions that an organization takes to meet its environmental obligations. An EMS is used to improve an organizations environmental performance and should be able to be objectively verified. Although an organizations management does not have to be certified in order for it to be considered an EMS, some organizations seek to obtain certification for their EMS. Some industries, such as the automotive industry, are encouraging certification of their suppliers. This may be done by using ISO 14000 as a guide to form the EMS and then working through a registrar to gain the certification. According to ISO 14001, the EMS must contain an environmental policy which states that the organization will implement the prevention of pollution, continual improvement and environmental compliance. The organization must identify environmental aspects of its operations and determine the impact they have on the environment. Ohio EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention has taken a significant interest in encouraging companies to development an EMS since they focus around environmental compliance and the prevention of pollution. The Office of Pollution Prevention is committed to assisting organizations with reducing the waste at its source. As such, we offer our aid to organizations in their continual improvement to find ways to reduce their waste and prevent the pollution at its source. OPP can assist by providing technical information and conducting on-site assessments. For more information see

Extractions: Print-Friendly Version An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a set of management processes and procedures designed to aid public and private agencies in establishing policies and practices for identifying, analyzing and solving problems. Through this process local agencies can control and reduce the environmental impact of their activities while operating with greater efficiency and control. EMSs are designed so that environmental issues are integrated into the everyday business operations and decision-making structure of an organization. The framework for EMS, which was first implemented in the private sector, is based on a plan, do, check, act model that reinforces continual improvement in operations. An EMS can be implemented in any agency or organizations regardless of its size or structure. The following highlights the reasons that local governments site for implementing EMSs.

Extractions: E.O. 13148, "Greening the Government Through Leadership in Environmental Management," requires implementation of EMS at all appropriate federal facilities by December 31, 2005. The Army took the EO a step further with the issuance of Army EMS policy in the July 13, 2001 Army EMS Action Memorandum signed by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Environment, Safety and Occupational Health). That memorandum requires all appropriate Army facilities to implement an ISO 14001-conforming EMS that is mission-focused by Fiscal Year 2009. Army installations already have mature environmental programs with many elements of an EMS. The next step is to leverage existing capabilities into a systematic approach aligned with mission priorities. In support of E.O. 13148, the USAEC is working with the Office of the Director of Environmental Programs; Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Environment, Safety and Occupational Health; the Army Engineer School and the Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine to develop and implement EMS tools that will actively promote mission readiness and environmental stewardship. The U.S. Army is committed to reducing risk and pollution, sustaining compliance, and enhancing mission readiness across the Service, and USAEC's support in the development of EMS systems is a key factor in this effort. The USAEC EMS program directly assists in the development and review of Army EMS policy and guidance, and in identifying and leveraging resources, best practices, and lessons learned from other federal and non-federal EMS programs. The USAEC also provides a forum for reviewing Army EMS implementation lessons learned, and develops materials needed to assure compliance with E.O.13148, reduce implementation costs, and assure support for mission priorities. The following documents are valuable tools to aid the implementation process:

Extractions: ECOLOGIA An 'Environmental Management System' (EMS) is a set of management procedures which can be used by any enterprise - large or small - to integrate environmental considerations into its day-to-day operations. An EMS plan is designed to reduce wasteful use of resources and energy, which decreases pollution and often increases the enterprise's profitability. ECOLOGIA and its partners are working with enterprises in transition economies as they start to use Environmental Management Systems to improve their efficiency and reduce their pollution. ECOLOGIA also participates in the development of international EMS standards, such as ISO 14000, and maintains a website that serves as a clearing house for information about EMS standards development.

Retirement The Environmental Management Systems (EMS) Incentives Program is an Australian Government funded program delivered by Centrelink on behalf of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry to encourage the adoption of sustainable management practices by primary producers who implement an Environmental Management System (EMS). The EMS Incentives Program provides primary producers with a cash reimbursement of up to 50% of the costs associated with developing and implementing an EMS for the primary production enterprise. The maximum amount payable per enterprise is $3 000, that is, $6 000 must have been spent in order to reimburse the maximum $3 000. The EMS Incentives Program has been introduced to achieve the following objectives: to support the assessment and adoption of improved natural resource management activities to enhance links between the enterprise based actions and the regional/catchment objectives to encourage additional investment in sustainable farming practices to enable primary producers to adapt to meet changing market demands for sustainable production to assist primary producers to contribute towards achieving natural resource management outcomes.

Rottink Summary Principles: NATO/EAPC countries working together can help guide and improve environmental practices to foster sustainability, thereby promoting broader peace and security objectives. Ministries of Defence would thus be seen to be supporting national interests by encouraging environmental stewardship. While fulfilling their military mission, NATO Forces should be committed to taking all reasonably achievable measures to protect the environment. To achieve this, commanders must know how their activities affect and are affected by the environment. Environmental planning is an essential process for ensuring appropriate environmental protection. (Based on STANAG 7141)

Extractions: The Bush Administration is working to significantly increase the federal government's use of environmental management systems as a planning and implementation tool to help Federal agencies better carry out their mission and be better environmental stewards. EMSs will help to better equip agencies with the information, resources, strategy, and feedback they need to ensure they are continuously improving their performance and reducing their environmental impact. On April 1, 2002, James L. Connaughton, Chairman of CEQ, and Mitchell Daniels, Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), sent a letter to the heads of all federal agencies emphasizing the importance of developing environmental management systems as key tools to meeting the President's management and stewardship agendas. Federal agencies are required by Executive Order 13148 to implement EMSs by the end of 2005 at all applicable facilities. The Office of the Federal Environmental Executive will be working closely with CEQ, OMB, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Defense, and other agencies to develop resources and training for agencies to be able to adopt and implement this management tool.
