Environmental Management Systems
The demands of Environmental Regulation means that it makes eminent sense to have an Environmental Management System in place. Not only does this demonstrate a desire to manage in an environmentally sensitive manner, but will also help the relationship with an organisations environmental regulators-usually the Environment Agency. By demonstrating intent to manage in an environmentally sound way, in the event that something does go wrong, it may be possible to limit the liability, and whilst insurers are reluctant to reduce premiums, they may not increase them.
However, with many companies wanting to demonstrate Continuous Improvement, there is a growing move to encourage suppliers to demonstrate their environmental performance, and it is becoming more common for customers to require their suppliers to prove their environmental credentials. EMC Ltd can help develop Environmental Management Systems to satisfy those requirements. In addition, where systems are required as a consequence of an Environmental or IPPC Permit, we can help with the development and management of those systems.
It is also worth noting that it is often said that a sound Environmental System can help with cost savings. It is not unknown for companies to be able to demonstrate at least a 10% saving on waste alone.
For many years now our qualified and talented Environmental Consultants have been providing environmental risk management services for organisations throughout East Africa.
Changing environmental legislation and regulatory measures introduce new environmental and financial challenges. Does your business have the systems in place to handle these adjustments?
