An Environmental Management System (EMS) helps you reduce your business’s impact on the environment. It keeps costs and risk down whilst ensuring your business remains innovative.

What is an EMS?

An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a plan to help businesses identify areas of improvement and reduce their environmental impact. 

How can an EMS benefit my business?

All types of businesses, from sole traders to large corporations, are implementing Environmental Management Systems. Here are some of the reasons why:

• Win new business through demonstrating your business’s green credentials.
• Cut costs.
• Demonstrate your responsibilities to customers, investors and stakeholders.
• Negotiate lower insurance premiums because you are compliant with legislation such as ISO14001.

At Global Action Plan, we are able to develop your EMS quicker and more effectively using our EMS Easy toolkit. More bonuses with less cost.

What is EMS Easy?

EMS Easy is a smart, informal and lean way of implementing an EMS which simplifies the process of cutting costs and attaining certification. 

We provide you with simple toolkits and an intensive 1-day training session to learn how to get the most out of EMS Easy.

The EMS Easy Toolkit was simple & easy to use. New procedures & systems were implemented without causing undue disruption. Our employees are now much more environmentally aware & we reduced some of our overhead costs. In addition, we can now use this accreditation when tendering for new work. We are the first UK company to be certified to ISO14001 using this innovative toolkit. Helen Smith, Line-X’s Financial Director.
