International Organisation of Standardisation (ISO) has published ISO 14001:1996 Environmental Management System-Specification with guidence for use. The Environmental Management System (EMS) is a part of the overall management system of any organisation which enables it to manage its activities, products and services on a proactive basis systematically so as to improve its environmental performance continually. It includes organisational structure, planning activities, responsibilities, practices, procedures, processes and resources for developing, implementing, achieving, reviewing and maintaining the environmental policy of the organisation. Various organisations (manufacturing and services sectors) can implement the EMS as per this standard and can seek third party certification for improving its public image as an environmentally sound organisation. However, third party certification is voluntary in nature. Bureau of Indian Standards has been operating EMS Certification Scheme under which about 30 licences have already been granted, covering textiles, cement, tiles, steel, engineering and chemical units. |
