Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Rapidly growing developmental activities and ever increasing population causes enormous strain on environmental resources leading to severe degradation of environment. But for maintaining healthy life on earth there must be a balance between resource utilization and capacity of environment. All this can only be possible if environment and its components are properly understood and managed. In this regard an environmental management system (EMS) was evolved in the early nineties for environmental conservation. It help organizations to minimize the negative impacts of operations or processes that affect the environment and leading to cause harmful effects on air, water, or land quality. The core elements of EMS include environmental policy, environmental action plan, environment related organizational structures and integration of environmental concerns. The main benefits of EMS are improved environmental performance, enhanced compliance, pollution prevention, improve efficiency, enhanced image in public and also enhanced environmental awareness.
