Increasingly, companies are integrating environmental management systems into their business structures. The introduction of BS7750, ISO 14001 and the European Community Environmental Management & Audit Scheme (EMAS) provide a formal structure for environmental management which can be independently verified. External accreditors can certify sites that meet the requirements of the standard. This will allow customers, insurers, the public and other stakeholders to have confidence that the company is taking positive steps to improve its performance.
