EMS Development

WESTON has experience in helping organizations through all phases of environmental management system (EMS) development:

  • Development of business case for EMS to ensure that EMS implementation can proceed. Without this critical step many EMS programs are never successfully completed. WESTON assists clients in ensuring an appropriate business case is in place.

  • Gap analysis to assist in EMS implementation planning. WESTON has moved beyond traditional gap analyses that simply compare existing programs against ISO 14001 standards to an approach that effectively evaluates current skills and readiness for EMS implementation.

  • EMS implementation planning to provide a strong foundation for EMS development. WESTON’s experience has resulted in an approach that provides a thorough understanding of resource and schedule needs early in EMS development.

  • EMS implementation assistance ranging from training to provision of tools and templates to assistance in development of written documentation. WESTON tailors the type and level of support needed to the unique circumstances of each EMS implementation.

  • ISO 14001 certification assistance for organizations that choose to pursue ISO certification. This assistance usually involves mock audits and extensive review of documentation to ensure that an organization is ready for third-party auditing.
