Environmental Management Systems

GEI can help design and implement an Environmental Management System (EMS), fine- tune an existing EMS, install discrete system elements such as environmental reporting methodology, or help organizations prepare to undertake ISO 14001 compliance and/or certification. Any of these options can be pursued in a manner that recognizes protection of sensitive information under attorney-client or work product privilege.

We know that each EMS program must be sized appropriately to the needs of each client. EMS programs will differ from one organization to another depending on the culture, size of the organization, level of risk, nature of operations, and funding. We have designed effective EMS initiatives to help the people “in the trenches” stay in compliance, and improve the effectiveness of the EMS program.

GEI provides services that complement EMS development including compliance auditing, environmental software and information system development, permitting and regulatory analysis. Our phased evaluation and implementation approach includes Gap Analyses followed by prioritized recommendations made for developing and strengthening the EMS, followed by preparation of Action Plans, and more.
