2. 1 INTRODUCTION
An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a structured framework for managing an
organisation's significant environmental impacts. The latter vary between organisations, but
typically will include waste, emissions, energy use, transport and consumption of materials.
Climate change factors are increasingly prominent as are legacy issues such as
contaminated land. Wider factors can also be included, such as impacts on wildlife
(biodiversity) and use of materials (such as embodied water). In implementing an EMS, a
company will identify the significant effects relevant to its business. For maximum
effectiveness, an EMS should not be set up as a stand-alone system, but built into the
exiting management structure (Netherwood, 1996). Adopting an EMS can help an
organisation to:
• Manage and improve its environmental performance (managing negative impacts) and
helping to increase resource efficiency (e.g. cutting waste and energy use);
• Comply with environmental laws and regulations;
• Generate financial savings through well-managed use of resources and efficient practices;
and
• Improve its standing and reputation with staff, client companies, partner organisations and
wider stakeholders; • Adapt to a changing environment (either its operations or its products/
services).
Background facts
National and international EMS certification schemes emerged in the early 1990s and have
since evolved to become standardised and structured so they are compatible and
complementary with other mainstream standards. The ISO 14001 standard is a specification
for an environmental management system that can be assessed by external bodies. The
standard also provides an umbrella for the rest of the ISO14000 series which covers a wide
range of environmental management issues including auditing, labelling, life-cycle
assessment etc. The use of ISO 14001 is voluntary, but is often cited as a requirement of
commercial tendering processes. However, at present, it is voluntary for individual
organisations to become registered through the scheme. The scheme requires not only the
implementation of an EMS (it recognises ISO 14001 as meeting this element of the scheme
requirements) but also requires the regular public reporting of the organisation’s
environmental performance over time (Environmental-mainstreaming.org, 2009).
3. 1.1 EMS MODEL
(Source: Environmental-mainstreaming.org, 2009)
PLAN
• In 2015, the EMS Manager began a comprehensive analysis of all activities, products and
services, to assess operational impact to the environment caused by Ziggy’s
•Independent assessments were performed by staff kitchen, cafeteria, tuckshop and toilets.
•Results were turned into a comprehensive Environmental Aspect Registry
•The aspects were then ranked based on:
- Likelihood
- Severity
- Risk rating
- Significance Rating
DO
•Based upon the ranking results and management input, significant environmental aspects
were identified, as wells as reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
•An Environmental Management Program for each significant aspect was developed
including:
- Environmental targets and objectives
CHECK
• Progress of action plan implementation continually assessed through internal and external
audits including Carbon Footprint and H2O footprint.
ACT
• Status of action plan implementation and progress towards achieving targets and
objectives are reported to executive management quarterly
4. 2 PREAMBLE
In order to promote public education and public safety, equal justice for all, a better informed
citizenry, the rule of law, world trade and world peace, this legal document is hereby made
available on a non-commercial basis, as it is the right of all humans to know and speak the
laws that govern them.
RATIONALE OF EMS
The main goal of an environmental management system is to continuously improve the
environmental aspects arising from a company’s activities and to guarantee legal
compliance. The organization shall establish, document, implement, maintain and continually
improve an environmental management system and this includes the environmental policy,
the environmental objectives and the planning process with the ISO14001:2004 International
Standard. Furthermore the organisation will define its responsibilities and procedures for
environmental protection.
BENEFITS OF EMS
1. Cost savings
All companies want to reduce costs which is a fact of life in today’s world economy but an
environmental management system can help with cost control. The first way that this can be
done is by using the system to identify, control, and reduce the number of environmental
incidents that occur, which can cost the company through liability costs of fines, clean-up,
and reparations.
Secondly, the system can use the improvement aspect of the environmental management
system to help reduce costs by working to conserve the energy and input materials required
by the company processes. With strict measures to reduce environmental pollution, cost
savings becomes attainable. There is a direct efficacy in water, waste, transport, purchasing
and energy. This way, companies can enjoy cost savings and divert their resources to other
development projects.
2. Promote responsibility and commitment
Through a set of instructions in the environmental management system, the public and large
corporations alike have the responsibility to implement best practices to minimize pollution.
This is a challenge to new companies as they have to come up with effective ways to reduce
pollution.
3. Complements other environmental laws
The EMS scheme also complements other practices that advocate for the implementation of
cost-effective techniques to keep pollution at bay. It is a quality standard regulation that is
pre-requisite to all companies and businesses.
4. Improve your image and credibility
An EMS becomes a clear benefit when contracts or tenders require an ISO 14001
certification. Even if it is not a prescribed requirement, very often the customers, neighbours,
and the local community will be interested in how the company cares for the environment
around them. Increasingly, consumers are concerned about the environmental practices of
the organization that produce the products they use. One way to assure all of these people
that the organization is committed to managing its environmental impacts, is to have a
demonstrable environmental management system that identifies and controls these impacts.
This can enhance the image of the company, thus helping to maintain a good public image,
and improve community relations which can help improve the market share with the
interested parties.
5. Help you comply with legal requirements
One of the most important benefits that can be derived from implementing ISO 14001 is to
5. provide an organization with a framework for identifying, monitoring and complying with the
various environmental requirements that apply to its processes. It can try to follow all
applicable laws before implementing an environmental management system, but the system
itself can aid in maintaining with compliance. Additionally, implementation will tell people that
the organization cares about the environment, and has a proven framework for identifying
and complying with the various legal, regulatory and contractual requirements, thus boosting
its image and credibility as above.
6. Higher rate of success when implementing changes
With the improvements outlined above, it is important to ensure that the EMS is working with
good, accurate data, which is a key element of the ISO 14001 standard. When putting these
improvement activities in place, the organization can greatly increase the chances that it will
be successful the first time by tracking the improvement through good data collection and
even if the initiative goes off track, it will find this out sooner so that it can correct problems
and recover faster. This can save further time and money.
7. Enable quicker improvement of processes
The element of continual improvement that is integral to the ISO 14001 requirements can be
used to help the organization to move from small improvements toward greater
enhancements to your organizational processes. Through these systematic processes, it can
better build its public image and reduce its costs as identified above, but to continue to do
this can help your employees find new and better ways to reduce the organization’s
environmental impact and save time and resources when they improve the processes. When
people are involved in a culture that utilizes them to work toward common goals of
improvement, they are more engaged overall.
8. Reduce employee turnover
As just stated, employees who are involved in company improvements are more engaged in
other aspects of the company. Given a choice between working for a company that shows
care and concern for the environment around it and one that does not, most people would
prefer the first company. Engaged employees in a group effort to reduce the company’s
environmental footprint will often have an increased employee focus and retention, and it is
easier and less expensive to retain employees than it is to recruit and train new employees.
So, every dollar spent on helping employees become more engaged is worth more in
savings for the training and recruitment department.
Of course, the main reason to implement an environmental management system using the
ISO 14001 requirements is to help the environment by causing less of a negative impact and
reducing the organizations environmental footprint. While this remains true, some companies
can still find it difficult to defend the monetary expenditures required to implement change. It
can be easier to justify the cost of making these improvements by focusing on these other
benefits that can go beyond the simple ideals of environmental stewardship and focus more
on the long-term advantages of implementing an environmental management system.
6. 3 ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY FOR ZIGGY’S
Last Reviewed:DD/MM/ YY
Next Review:DD/MM/ YY
Mission Statement
Ziggy’s Tuckshop recognises that it has a responsibility to the environment. It strives to go
beyond legal and regulatory requirements. Our core business is the selling of convenience
goods to students and staff at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. We are committed to
reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance
as an integral part of our business strategy and operating methods, with regular review
points. We will encourage customers, suppliers and other stakeholders to do the same.
Responsibility
The Owner of Ziggy’s at this point in time is responsible for ensuring that the environmental
policy is implemented. However, all employees have a responsibility in their area to ensure
that the aims and objectives of the policy are met.
Our organization shall provide services that minimise its impacts on the environment. It shall
do so by making sure that the environmental management system:
a) is appropriate to the nature, scale and environmental impacts of sales, products and
services,
b) is committed to continuous improvement and prevention of pollution,
c) is a committed to complying with applicable legal requirements and with other
requirements to which the organization subscribes which relate to its environmental aspects,
d) provides the framework for setting and reviewing environmental objectives and targets,
e) has a policy that is documented, implemented and maintained,
f) communicates this policy to all persons working for or on behalf of the organization, and
g) is readily available to the public.
All staff shall minimise waste through strategies such as:
Reducing waste
• Examining each work process steps to determine where wastes are produced and to
devise measures for waste prevention or reduction
• Devising ways of reducing waste with employees so they too can share in the savings (for
example rewards for employees who reduce waste)
• Partnering with a waste management contractor to assist with waste minimisation.
• Keeping a running tally of waste production to track changes and improvement.
Reusing
• Selling or donating waste to other organisations (e.g. Bread clip for wheelchair donations).
Increasing recycling
• Segregating wastes wherever possible to aid recycling and provide an indication of why
waste is forming
• Investigating alternative uses for organic waste that cannot be reduced or reused, e.g.
composts or convert the waste to energy
• Diverting recyclable wastes from the general waste, identifying recyclers or waste disposal
contractors and organising regular collections
• Joining with neighbouring offices and residences to get common wastes recycled cost
7. effectively, and discussing waste contractors cost off-sets by efficient serving of the area.
The organisation commits to continuous improvement of this policy through reviews and
feedback from the staff, suppliers and the general public.

7 CARBON FOOTPRINTING
The carbon and water footprint concepts were introduced about a decade ago,
simultaneously, but independently from one another. The CF arose out of the debate on
climate change, as a tool to measure GHG emissions. The WF was introduced in the field of
water resources management, as a tool to measure water use in relation to consumption
patterns. In both cases, the terminology chosen was inspired by the ecological footprint (EF),
which had been introduced in the 1990s (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization, 2012).
Scope 1 refers to the accounting of direct GHG emissions, which occur from sources that
are owned or controlled by the company (e.g. the emissions from combustion in owned or
controlled boilers, furnaces, vehicles).
Scope 2 refers to accounting of indirect GHG emissions from the generation of purchased
electricity used by the company.
Scope 3 refers to other indirect GHG emissions, which are a consequence of the activities
of the company, but occur from sources not owned or controlled by it e.g. extraction and
production of purchased materials, transportation of purchased fuels.
Ziggy’s operates from February to November each year and breaks in June and July between

8 EMS ASSESSMENT
Due to the fact that Ziggy’s did not have an EMS already in place or an environmental policy,
the first assessment of this nature can only be carried out at the end of the first year after
implementation. This can be carried out at the earliest at the end of 2016.
