As sustainability becomes forefront for all organizations, not just organizations in polluting
industries, organizations have focused more on how their environmental management systems (EMS)
reduce waste and handle by-products.
The world, including the United States, has committed to
using ISO 14001 as the environmental management system standard. Some industries, such as those
that subscribe to the American Chemical Council, have further developed the standard for
particular applications such as Responsible Care, or RC 14001.
As a system standard, ISO 14001 provides basic, agreed requirements for good environmental management
practices. However, these minimal requirements only establish a framework for exceptional organizational
performance, they do not guarantee it.
Organizations ensure adequate environmental risk management, successful implementation of environmental
process controls and continual environmental improvement through use of an EMS. An EMS is the system
used to convert environmental stakeholder needs (may be local or global) into satisfied environmental
stakeholders through effective business process management. At QMII, we pride ourselves in our >20
year history of helping clients develop process-based environmental management systems, long before
conformity and compliance through continual process improvement became popular.
