Plan, Do, Check, Act
Many organisations have an Environmental Management System (EMS) to structure their processes and procedures.
The most common framework for an EMS is ISO 14001, the internationally accepted and well-established ISO Standard for environmental management. It encourages a philosophy of continual improvement – the Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle.
In Australia, the principles of environmental management are also embedded in sustainability assessment schemes such as Green Star (by the Green Building Council of Australia) and the Infrastructure Sustainability (IS) rating scheme. These provide guidance on environmental best practices and help organisations identify opportunities for improved site environmental performance.
