Course overview
Many organizations are working hard to lessen their impact on the environment. Some are trying to reduce their carbon footprint, while others are considering how to be less wasteful with resources. But, with all there is to understand about environmental impact, it can be difficult for someone to know where to start when it comes to managing it.
Implementing an environmental management system, or EMS, will help them set up practices that reduce the company’s negative environmental impact. With an EMS in place, they’ll be able to monitor the company’s environmental impact and see where improvements should be made to the organization’s environmental policy. Understanding what an EMS is and how to use one will help them support the organization to control its environmental impact.
