Management
Advantages of environmental management systems
Most advantages of environmental management systems
stem from savings your business can make, increased
profitability and better sales opportunities
 Better regulatory compliance -
running an EMS will help ensure
your environmental legal
responsibilities are met and more
easily managed on a day-to-day
basis.
 More effective use of resources - you will
have policies and procedures in place that
help you manage waste and resources
more effectively and reduce costs.
 Increased sales opportunities -
large businesses and government
departments may only deal with
businesses that have an EMS.
 Certification to recognized
standards - gaining external
certification of your EMS
through ISO 14001, BS 8555 or
EMAS can give your business
credibility with customers and
stakeholders.
 Finance - you may find it easier
to raise investment from banks
and other financial institutions,
which are increasingly keen to
see businesses controlling their
environmental impact.

8. Disadvantages of EM
Disadvantages of an environmental
management system:
Some disadvantages of environmental
management systems can stem from cost
and staff negativity:
 Cost - the Costs Involved can vary
considerably, however you should
be able to find low-cost
opportunities that will produce
significant cost savings and offset
the cost of implementing and
operating your EMS.
 Time and resources - an
EMS should help your
business to become more
profitable by reducing
energy consumption,
waste and, therefore,
costs, however it is an
investment which
requires you to commit
time and resources.
Management or staff
resistance - an EMS
can be seen as
unnecessary, so you
should explain the
basic aims and
benefits early on in
the process
 Too burdensome - some
businesses may be able
to realize the benefits of
an EMS, eg resource
efficiency and cost
savings, without having
to operate a full EMS - or
an informal system may
be a better fit for your
business than working to
a standard like ISO
14001.

9. Environmental Problems:
 There are many environmental issues in India. Air
pollution, water pollution, garbage domestically
prohibited goods and pollution of the natural
environment are all challenges for India. Nature is
also causing some drastic effects on India. The
situation was worse between 1947 through 1995.
According to data collected and environmental
assessments studied by World Bank experts,
between 1995 through 2010, India has made some
of the fastest progress in addressing its
environmental issues and improving its
environmental quality in the world.
 Environmental issues are one of the primary causes
of disease, health issues and long term livelihood
impact for India.

10. Scoops of Environmental Management

problems and their proper management
began in 1970s through various people
movement around many countries of the
world. The Green peace movement,

Policy and Planning was set up in 1972
which was later evolved into Ministry
of Environment and Forests (MoEF) in
1985.
MoEF and the pollution control boards
(CPCB i.e. Central Pollution Control
Board and SPCBs i.e. State Pollution
Control Boards) together form the
regulatory and administrative core of the
sector.
The Policy Statement for Abatement of
Pollution and the National Conservation
Strategy and Policy Statement on Environment
and Development were brought out by the MoEF
in 1992.
The EAP (Environmental Action Programme)
was formulated in 1993 with the objective of
improving environmental services and
integrating environmental considerations into
development programmes.
