LEARNING OUTCOMES
 Student is able to list the basic principles for

environmental management.
 Student is able to identify problems related environment
 Student is able to identify risks related to environmental
management

7 Environmental Principles
1. Nature knows best.
2. Everything is connected to everything else.
3. Everything changes.
4. Ours is a finite Earth.
5. Everything goes somewhere.
6. Nature is beautiful.
7. Principle of ecological balance.

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF EMS
 General system approach to environmental

management:
 Policy statement
 Plans and programmes
 Integration of environmental plans into daily operations
 Performance measurements
 Information sharing

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF EMS – CONT’
 Policy statement
 Indicates the organization’s overall commitment to the
improvement of environmental performance
 For example pollution control, waste minimization
(3R) , protection of natural resources, wildlife
protection, continual improvement, etc.

Reduce, reuse and recycle

"3Rs."
• Reducing means choosing to use items with care to reduce the

amount of waste generated.
• Reusing involves the repeated use of items or parts of items which

still have usable aspects.
• Recycling means the use of waste itself as resources.

 Plans and programmes

 Develop a set of plans and programmes to
implement the policy
 Include the advancement of the programme

through suppliers and customers

 Integration of environmental plans into day-to-

day operations
 Teamwork
 Develop innovative techniques and technologies to
minimize the impact of the organization on the
environment

 Performance measurements
 Baseline data
 Benchmarking
 Progress report
 Audit
 Review

 Information sharing
 Awareness talks
 Training
 Education
 E-notices
 Memorandum
 Others

Environmental Review
All the organisation’s environmental aspects and

impacts. 4 key areas
activities or services that can interact with the environment,
legislation and other requirements which affect the organisation,
Assessment of the organisation’s environmental methods and
routines, including procurement and hiring of consultants, and
•Evaluation of experiences from previous incidents.

An organisation’s environmental policy is the most important steering
document and describes the elements of an organisation’s
environmental activities. It defines the ambitions and visions relating to
these activities and should ensure that they are thoroughly adopted by
the organisation’s management group.

At McDonald's we recognise our responsibility to protect

and preserve the environment for future generations to
come. Our goal is simple, all of our activities are centered
around the key priorities of reduce, reuse, recycle and
redesign with the aim to use less energy

Responsibility for our Environment.
We are all responsible for sustaining and protecting our natural

environment. The BMW Group is called upon to conduct responsible and
sustainable environmental policies, which are also economically viable.
This is an obligation we have taken upon ourselves through our
competence as a manufacturer of highly technological products and as an
employer of a highly qualified workforce around the world. To this end, we
strive to reconcile the interests of people and nature, technology and
progress with the right of future generations to an intact environment.

Planning
Identify the legislation applicable
To obtain the objectives and targets set, and action plan
Consultation with all stakeholders priorities;
To identify the actions, deliverables, milestones, timeline and KPIs
Specific objectives and targets;
To allocate responsibilities
Plan for reporting mechanisms and promulgation activities.

Implementation and Operation
The implementation and operation should describe how the operation

is governed in order to achieve environmental objectives .
The management should at this stage make available adequate

resources for the functioning of the environmental management
system.

Implementation and Operation (Cont.)
Implementation and management involves roles, authorities and
defining responsibility, documentation and communication.
The organization should also see that routines are established and
maintained for areas such as employee training courses, and internal
and external environmental organisational communication.
 Emergency preparedness is necessary to prevent and reduce any

possible environmental impact due to incidents.

Checking
measuring, monitoring, and evaluating
audit involves a systematic, recorded, objective and periodical

evaluation of an organisation’s EMS, environmental organisation and
routines as well as equipment.
An organisation normally uses external as well as internal audits.

Management Review
EMS should be discussed.
Management should review the system to check its suitability,

adequacy, objectivity and efficiency. It is not necessary to cover all
parts of the environmental management system at the same time but all
should be covered within a certain time period,
Theresults from both the internal and external audits, records,

measurements, deviations and management plan
Management reviews should include all possible needs relating to

changes in environmental policy, comprehensive environmental
objectives, following up of legislation and other parts of the
environmental management system based
•.

What are the differences between environmental
review and management review?

Prepare an environmental policy for a company or
organization. Describe and explain why you choose
this environmental policy in a simple verbal
presentation- 3 minutes. Work in a group of 5 people.

Implementation of an EMS involves an organisation taking
the following steps:
•devise a policy that articulates the organizations

environmental commitments
•appoint an environmental manager or management team
responsible for the ongoing coordination of the EMS

•identify the organisation's significant environmental
aspects
•identify legislative and regulative requirements relevant to
the organisations environmental aspects

• establish environmental objectives and targets

• implement programs to achieve those objectives and
targets
• monitor and measure progress towards achieving those
objectives and targets
• take steps to continually improve the effectiveness and
efficiency of environmental management and
• strategically review the continuing effectiveness of
environmental management within the organisation.

Environmental conflicts
• "Environmental Conflicts manifest
themselves as political, social, economic,
ethnic, religious or territorial conflicts,
or conflicts over resources or national
interests, or any other type of conflict.

ENVIRONMENTAL DECISION MAKING
 Information required to resolve environmental conflicts

 Law
 Policy
 Economics
 Toxicology and human health
 Statistics
 Valuation
 Sociology
 Pollution control
 Native land title

RISK ASSESSMENT
 A systematic process for describing and quantifying the

risk associated with hazardous substances, processes,
action or events.
 Generally, risks exist when three conditions are present.
 Source
 Exposure process
 Causal process

RISK ASSESSMENT – CONT’
 Risk assessment must determine, characterize,

quantify the following factors:
 Potential of the source to release risk agents
 Intensity, frequency and duration of exposure
 Relationship between the exposure and the resulting
health or environmental consequences

ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS
 Air quality-Air Pollution Index (API), vehicle smoke test,
chimney, etc
 Water quality-EQA, BOD, COD, pH, temperature
 Food supply-E-coli contamination, supply, pricing,
availability
 Climate- global warming, depletion of ozone layer
 Noise pollution
 Soil contamination

KEY TERMS
 Policy – A plan or course of action decided upon by government or

big organization
 Baseline data – Initial information
 Benchmarking – A process that enable comparison of inputs
 Sociology – The study of human societies
 Toxicology – The branch of science concerned with the nature,
effects, and detection of poisons
