Environmental Management
The key to good environmental impact management is data: the right data, well organised and available at the right time and place. Wrapped within a framework of policies and tools, any company taking its impact seriously needs a good EMS in place.
An EMS ensures environmental impacts and risks are understood, managed and and improved upon. Quantifiable results against targets can be communicated to any interested stakeholder.
With the rise in compliance requirements and increased need for data reporting, this eases the annual reporting stress by collating data on a regular basis and keeping it all in one place.
Luckily, we’ve helped loads of companies design and build their EMS and are on hand to help you too.

What do we offer?
We follow the EMS standard ISO14001 when delivering an EMS for our clients so that it will be easy to go down the route of certification if needed.
The main elements of EMS delivery are as follows:
- Initial Environmental Review – we work with stakeholders to fully map out business processes, identify legal requirements and current processes, roles and responsibilities.
- Aspect and Impact Register – to understand impact relating to all areas of the business that is then scored to reveal significant business impacts and controls or actions needed.
- Legal Compliance review and register
- Policy review and refinement
- Objectives and targets – linked to significant impacts and any risk or opportunity areas identified.
- KPI Data tracking – we have templates or can enhance your own systems.
- Training – an essential part of the process.
- Environmental Manual/Hub – a one stop shop for environmental impact with links to guidance processes, best practice and for data entry
We make sure the EMS is embedded within the business and ensure it helps, simplifies and organises existing information and processes.

We have an experienced team who are qualified to implement environmental management systems according to the ISO14001 standard.

Knowledge & experience:
“Greenheart’s knowledge and experience, built up from working with other clients on similar global environmental tools, meant we knew what we had to do rather than go through a journey of discovery and fact finding. We had an aggressive timeline and we met it.” Simon Pattenden, International Supply Chain Manager
