Environmental Management Systems (EMS) are management tools for companies and other organizations that allow improving their environmental performance. Companies are increasingly interested in reaching and demonstrating an adequate environmental performance of their activities, as well as in ensuring that their behavior not only complies with environmental legislation, but will also continue doing it in the future.
An effective way to develop and implement an environmental policy in a company, in addition to any given objectives and a strategy for continuous improvement, taking into account legal requirements and the environmental performance of the company itself, is by establishing and maintaining an Environmental Management System (EMS).
