Sustainable development as a goal is achieved by balancing the three pillars of sustainability. Societal expectations for sustainable development, transparency and accountability have evolved with increasingly stringent legislation, growing pressures on the environment from pollution, inefficient use of resources, improper waste management, climate change, degradation of ecosystems and los of, biodiversity. This has led organizations to adopt a systematic approach to environmental management BY” implementing environmental management systents with the aim of contributing to the environmental iar of sustainability. : yeereairs hy 2 EMS ergs ies TED ‘The purpose of this International Standard is to provide organizations with a franiework to protect the environment and respond to changing environmental conditions in balance with sgcio-economic needs. It specifies requirements that enable an organization to achigye the intended outcomes it sets for its environmental management system. & F 0.2 Aim ofan environmental management system W/ “Asystematic approach to environmental management can provide typ management with information to build success over the long term and create options for contributing to sustainable development by: — protecting the environment by preventing or mitigatingad .¢ environmental impacts; — mitigating the pote adverse effect of environmental jons on the organization; > — assisting the organization in the fulfilment of compliaigce obligations; — enhancing environmental performance; — controlling or influeficing the way the’ organization's products and services are designed, manufactured, distributed, consumed and disposed by using a life cycle perspective that can prevent environmental impacts from being unintentionally shifted elsewhere within the life cycle; — achieving financial and:operational benefits that can result from implementing environmentally ‘sound alternatives that strengthen the organization's marker positio — communicating environmental information to relevant interested parties. This Internat anovrizai' 1 Stalidardlike other International Standards, is not intended to increase or change legal requirements. 0.3 Success factors “The success of dn environmental management system depends on commitment from all levels and functions of the organization, led by top management. Organizations can leverage opportunities to prevent or mitigate adverse environmental impacts and enhance beneficial environmental impacts, particularly those with strategic and competitive implications. Top management can effectively address its risks and opportunities by integrating environmental management into the organization’s business processes, strategic direction and cecision making, aligning them with other business priorities, and incorporating environmental governance into its overall management system. Demonstration of Successful implementation of this International Standard can be used to assure Interested parties that an effective environmental management system is in place. Adoption of this International Standard, however, will not in itself guarantee optimal environmental ‘outcomes. Application of this International Standard can differ from one organization to another vi (© 180 2015 ~All rights reserved clue to the context of the organization. Two organizations can carry out similar activities but can have different compliance obligations, commitments in their environmental policy, environmental technologies and environmental performance goals, yet both can conform to the requirements of this International Standard. The level of detail and complexity of the environmental management system will vary depending on the context of the organization, the scope of its environmental management system, its compliance obligations, and the nature ofits activities, products and services, including its environmental aspects and associated environmental impacts. 4 Plan-Do-Check-Act model The basis for the approach underlying an environmental management system is founded on the concept of Plan-Do-CheckcAct (PDCA), The PDCA model provides an iterative process used by organizations 20 achieve continual improvement. t can be applied to an environmental management system,and to each of ts individual elements. It can be briefly described as follows. — Plan: establish environmental objectives and processes necessary to deliver results in accordance With the organization's environmental policy. f % — Dor implement the processes as planned. — Gheck: moniturand measure processes against the environmental polity iicluding its commitments, environmental objectives and operating criteria, and report the results — Acts take actions to continually improve. % Eigure 1 shows how the framework introduced in this international Standard could be integrated into a PDCA model which can help new and existing users to understand the importance ofa systems approach, smemiea colt tie nanizatin oct aed "faethe ettomet ape a ie (ZEN | ; | fe Ai | } Figure 1 — Relationship between PDCA and the frameworkin this International Standard 0.5 Contents of this International Standard This International Standard conforms to 1SO's requirements for management system standards. ‘These requirements include a high level structure, identical core text, and common terms with core definitions, designed to benefit users implementing multiple [$0 management system standards.

However, this international Standard enables an organization to use a common approach and risk-based thinking to integrate its environmental management system with the requirements of other management systems. ‘This International Standard contains the requirements used to assess conformity. An organization that wishes to demonstrate conformity with this International Standard can do so bs — making self determination and self-declaration, or —seoking confirmation ofits conformance by parties having an interest inthe organization, such as customers, or 2 — seeking confirmation ofits selédeclaration by a party external to the organization, or — seeking cortification/registration of its environmental management system by an eternal ‘organization. ‘Annex A provides explanatory information to prevent misinterpretation of the reiliyerents of this International Standard.
