The EMS standard lays down specific requirements for establishing an organization’s environmental management system and provides a systematic framework for identifying practices and procedures targeting natural resource conservation and efficient utilization, including environmental protection, pollution prevention, waste minimization, as well as a reduction in energy and materials consumption. Its updated version in 2015 warrants an organizations’ intent towards environmental consciousness and reiterates its stakeholders about the entity’s sensitivity towards sustainability principles, including the adoption of a circular economy approach for sustainable development. Currently, there are more than 300,000 companies worldwide certifying their processes to EMS standards spread across 171 countries.
