Good environmental management is essential if we are to be efficient and effective in our environmental efforts. The EMS we instituted in 2000 closely follows the international environmental standard ISO 14001:1996. Under the EMS, we follow the ¡§Plan-Do-Check-Act¡¨ model. Compliance and other environmental considerations are integrated into the planning, implementation, improvement, and review phrases of all our activities. This means that EMSD will continuously monitor the effectiveness of the EMS through ongoing self-assessment of aspects of environmental significance and by evaluating reportable occurrences and non-conformance incidents. Corrective actions are established where needed and monitored by the EMS tracking systems. Each EMSD Division individually assesses the EMS according to ISO 14001:1996 standards (details of the certificates are shown in Annexes) at six-monthly intervals. ¡@ | |||||
At EMSD, we implement a common set of policies for all business and supporting units.
The individual units are themselves responsible for safeguarding the environmental
issues. The Quality and Methods Sub-division acts as a facilitator for all environmental management systems,
whilst QEPSC ensures the implementation of corporate goals and policies.
