Environmental Management Systems are an important aspect of company operations, helping to:

• Cut costs;
• Ensure compliance with environmental legislation;
• Manage health and safety issues;
• Improve environmental performance; and
• Provide marketing benefits for the company.

Fellows understand the first step to a successful EMS is to look inwardly at the business to identify the areas where performance is strong or weak so that the EMS has a focus of environmental or health and safety issues. A baseline needs to be set for where the company is and where it wants to be.

Through communication and education, Fellows can help to spread an understanding, interest and enthusiasm for the EMS throughout the company, from the owners, to the management team, to the factory and office workers.  Without the interest of the full team, an EMS will lack focus and effectiveness.

Once these steps are completed, Fellows can develop an action plan specifically for the constraints of your operations, workforce, industry and targets to qualify for the most appropriate certification scheme available to you.

The review of an EMS is key so we can also set up monitoring systems and provide an easy method for reporting the monitoring results and identify trends to see the successes and failures of the EMS.
