Monitoring Environmental Performance

Level 5

Environmental Monitoring

Sound environmental management practices are now at the heart of standard operating requirements of most companies. Monitoring is an important part of the management of any system, which also includes Environmental Management Systems (EMS'). The environmental performance of a company needs to be monitored and (where possible) measured, in order to cement compliance with the EMS and with any legislation and regulations. It also brings with it business benefits such as identifying process inefficiencies and wastes and potential environmental emergency situations.
