Environmental Management System (EMS) goals

['Environmental Management Systems']
Environmental Management System (EMS) goals
  • Every goal should have a timeline, be specific, and be measurable.

An important part of an Environmental Management System (EMS) is to set goals and create an action plan that will allow your business to achieve ongoing improvement in environmental performance. Every goal should have a timeline, be specific, and be measurable to drive change and track achievements, improvements, and reductions.

The following are tips related to developing goals:

  • Ensure that the goals are realistic and fit the organization’s mission and the overall business strategy of the company.
  • Decide how to measure performance and identify how each goal relates to the company’s environmental policy. Note that the company needs baseline data (which may need to be developed) to compare progress.
  • Set an action plan for achieving these goals.
  • Communicate to the EMS team the reasons for picking each goal.
  • Measure and monitor progress toward goals regularly.

This is an example of environmental performance goals:
