Chapitre 3 - Logistics IV Environmental Management Systems (EMS) An environmental management system (EMS) is an IT solution including procedures for tracking environmental data to reduce waste and pollution. An EMS can be based on ISO 14000 and ISO 14001 which are sets of standards that help organizations minimize how their operations cause adverse changes to air, water, and land. ISO 14000 and 14001 are devised by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and are an integral part of the European Union's Eco- Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS). EMAS is a voluntary environmental management instrument developed in 1993 to enable organizations to assess, manage and continuously improve environmental performance. Today, more than 4,600 organizations and 7,900 sites are EMAS registered. & TECHNICAL TERMS Environmental management system (EMS) European Union's Eco- Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) & COMMON TERMS * Common nouns Land * Common adjectives Registered Système de gestion de l'environnement Le système de management environnemental et d'audit de l'UE (EMAS) La terre, le terrain Enregistré, inscrit 297
