Abstract
An environmental management system aims to provide a platform on which the organisation can best meet its responsibilities to, and show commitment for, the environment. It forms the basis upon which improvements to the organisation can be founded and, moreover, it portrays to the outside world that the organisation’s business is conducted with consistency to a standard that is recognised and respected.
