Being a voluntary standard that organizations can become certified in, integrating it with other management systems standards can further help organisations in accomplishing their goals.

An EMS refers to the framework that encompasses policies, procedures, records and processes needed to train and equip personnel in the training and monitoring of environmental impacts. EMS is a system that describes how an organisation will identify, monitor and act to prevent and reduce negative effects on the environment.
