How an Environmental Management System (EMS) can help with embedding of a Carbon Management Plan (CMP)- Christopher Lang, Deputy Principal at Cambridge Regional College
The document discusses the implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS) according to ISO 14001 standards at Cambridge Regional College. It covers the reasons for having an EMS, including legal and financial benefits; what ISO 14001 involves, such as establishing environmental aspects, impacts, and policies; how to set up an EMS with objectives, targets, evaluations, and management reviews; and that senior management buy-in, all staff, and an environmental action group will need to be involved in the process. The overall goal is for the college to be the first further education college in the UK to achieve ISO 14001 certification for its EMS.
