The course deals with environmental management systems as they apply to businesses. 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 this environmental standard, thus allowing customers, insurers, the public and other stakeholders to have confidence that the company is taking positive steps to improve its environmental performance. This ‘Environmental Management’ training course can be used as part of an environmental management system for certification to ISO 14000 and EMAS.
