In today's industry, one of the keys to success is an organization's ability to use technology through a systems approach to address and continually improve its environmental performance. Environmental Management Systems is a central part of the overall management addressing the environmental components of operations leading to sound environmental performance and a process of continual improvement in sustainable practices. Students will develop a working understanding of the different elements of an Environmental Management System (auditing, environmental impact assessment, life cycle analysis, and environmental performance reporting), the range of tools available for implementation (e.g. ISO 14000 and other software), and the benefits gained in implementing these systems (e.g. better risk management, cost savings, regulatory compliance, reduced footprint). Students will be expected to familiarize themselves with the appropriate techniques and methods, and apply them through a range of specific exercises.
