3. All Employees – as every employee consumes resources and generates wastes

on a daily basis, he/she is responsible for the environmental impact of his/her
actions. Therefore, protecting and conserving the environment goes down to every
individual working for the company by actively taking part in fulfilling the
environmental objectives of his/her department and practicing proper waste disposal,
resource conservation, preventing pollution, and reporting to the top management
and the EMR the environmental breaches observed in the workplace.
Shared responsibility at all levels of the company organization is very essential in
successfully implementing the EMS.

Being certified has both the monetary and nonmonetary benefits to the company.

1. MONETARY BENEFITS
Improvement in cost control – aiming to reduce wastes prompts the company to
efficiently use its resources including raw materials used in manufacturing, electrical
power, water, fuel, and other materials the company uses in its daily business
operations. Efficiency is achieving the most number of results (in products or
services) with the least amount of resources. With this in mind, there will be better
control in the procurement of materials, finding multiple uses for a single material, and
even finding alternatives for raw materials by prioritizing those that are
environmentally friendly.

not only productive but also environmentally responsible even outside of work.
