Environmental management systems provide an opportunity for companies to examine which of the pressures listed above have most bearing on their particular operations. They can then formulate a policy, which allows them to improve their environmental performance, in line with their overall business strategy. For each of the above pressures, the EMS provides a framework by which the company can address the issue to its best advantage.
Despite the fact that to establish an EMS requires commitment in terms of financial and human resources, an organization may expect to reap some or all of the following benefits according to ISO 14004:1996: -
• assuring customers of commitment to demonstrable environmental management
• maintaining good public/community relations
• satisfying investor criteria and improving access to capital
• obtaining insurance at reasonable cost
• enhancing image and market share
• meeting vendor certification criteria
• improving cost control
• reducing incidents that result in liability
• demonstrating reasonable care
• conserving input materials and energy
• facilitate obtaining permits and authorizations
• fostering development and sharing environmental solutions
• improving industry-government relations
