2. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
SYSTEMS
• A set of methods and procedures for aligning
corporate strategies, policies and operations with
principles that protect ecosystems.
 It includes the organizational structure, planning and resources
for developing, implementing and maintaining policy for
environmental protection.

3. General Benefits Of EMS
 Economic Benefits
cost saving
revenue increase
 Strategic Benefits
enhanced public image and public relations
access to foreign markets

6. PLAN
Identify Environmental Aspects
E.g. air pollutants
Determine most important to company
E.g. worker health & safety
Legal and Other Requirements
Objectives and Targets
E.g. Objectives – Overall Goal, e.g. minimize use
Target – Detailed, Quantified, e.g. minimize by 10% by
specific date
Management Actions to Support Objectives and Targets

7. DO
Structure
Training, Awareness
Communication
EMS Documentation
Document Control
Operational Control
Emergency Preparedness and Response

8. Check
Monitoring and Measurement
Nonconformance, Corrective and Preventative Action
Records

9. ACT
EMS Audits
Management Review
This final review stage creates a loop of continuous
improvement for a company

10. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ASSESSMENT
 It is a formal process to predict the environmental
consequences of development activities, to plan
measures to eliminate or reduce adverse effects and to
augment positive effects.

11. Baseline Study
 Pre-project or existing situation of environmental
components that are likely to be affected by the firms
activity

12. Environmental Components
 Soil: Nutrients concentration, Erosion,Salinity
 Flora :Existing Plants ,their growth habits,Key species,
Dispersion of species.
 Fauna: Species and their food habitats
 Water,Air,Social,Economic,Demography,
 Vulnerabilty to any natural disasters
 Nature of technology and level of technology use

14. EIA PROCESS
 Addresses all types of impacts-Direct & Indirect, Long
&Short,Visible & Invisible, Severity, Frequency.
3 Phases
 Initial Enquiries(IEE)
 Full Environmental Impact Study(EIA)
 Environmental monitoring

15. IEE
 Understand the objectives of the project-What are the activities and
why the activities are proposed
Stages:
 Forming Investigation Team
 Screening to know environmental sensitivity
 Terms of Reference is developed
 Assessing potential impacts
 Formulating mitigating plans
 Reports to decision making authorities and disclosure to redesign
project.
 If no significant impact project passes through IEE and funds are
committed

16. Full EIA Study
 Reserved for activities when screening or IEE shows significant impacts. It
involves greater efforts and in-depth assessment.
 Information gathered from IEE are used to prepare terms of reference for
the EIA.
Tools & Techniques of EIA
 Environmental impact metrics
 Checklists with data collection sheets and questions.
 Venn Diagram, Mathematical modelling and flow quantities, Regression
analysis.
 Expert advice through Delphi technique to estimate socio-cultural changes
 Economic techniques to find out cost benefit ratio
 Environmental health impact assessment

17. Environmental Impact Mitigation
 Mitigation is the implementation of measures designed to reduce the
undesirable effect of a proposed action on the environment.
3 Types
 Prevention and control measures: Changing site, changing raw
material, abandoning the project.
 Compensatory measures: Making improvement at some other places or
domain in order to offset the environmental impact in one area.
 Remediation measures: Restoration of the environment after the
damage is done. Eg Mining site is restored by planting trees to prevent
soil erosion, Clean Ganga Campaign.

18. Environmental Monitoring
 Formal measurement of key environmental indicators
over the affected area over time in order to identify
deviations. It also includes
 Effectiveness of Mitigation measures
 Indicators of environmental health and ecosystem
functions are also measured

19. Environmental Audit(EA)
Pre Audit activities
 Training of employees, external relations with community, pollution
treatment and discharges, Effective use of resources etc.
Audit Activities at site
 Undestand the reality, Questionnaires, survey, discussions etc.
Post-Audit activities:
 Collected data is coded and tabulated
 Draft report is prepared
 Final audit report prepared for critical decisions even to the level of
making changes in the environmental policy.

20. Types of Audit
 Decision Point Audit: Effectiveness of EIA
 Impact on project Audit –studies change in environment due to
project.
 Predictive technique audit: Actual Vs Predicted. Examines the accuracy
of techniques used.
 EIA procedure Audit : effectiveness of methods.
 Certification Audits –ISO,LEED etc
 Efficiency Audit: Energy use, water use, paper recycling etc.
 Performance Audit: examines whether the individuals and
agencies in project management did their roles in a responsible
manner.

Travis Perkins chose
ISO 14001 as the basis
of its Environmental
Management System
because this standard:
• Is internationally
recognized and
respected
• Involves regular
independent audits
The Travis Perkins ISO
14001 EMS consists of
several linked
components.
