你为什么需要一个环境管理系统？
Alphonse L. Johnson 2013年4月30日
为什么不需要呢？环境管理系统（EMS）是一个大框架，可以帮助公司提高能源利用率，并且在环保的前提下实现可持续发展。难道有人想要浪费能源、金钱并损害我们的环境吗？
什么是环境管理系统？一个公司的环境管理系统应包括以下7个基本要素：
设定公司的环境保护标准。
检验公司的相关法定要求和对环境的影响。
设定可量化的环保目标，减少对环境的影响，遵纪守法。
创建并完善相关项目，使公司完成预设的环保目标。
和所有的员工都进行沟通，让全体员工都参与进来，构建大众的环保意识和环保知识。
在完成目标的过程中实现进度管理。
回顾并分享在完成环境管理系统目标的过程中所取得的进步，寻找可以兼顾公司发展和环保的途径。
这个系统成功的关键因素是什么？
环境管理系统要获得公司领导层的支持。
建立可量化的、可实现的目标。
在目标、结果这些问题上与公司内部和外部的利益相关者进行沟通和交流。
庆祝成功，从失败中学习。
保持这个系统的活力和趣味性。
谁是受益者？
客户会从一个更干净的室内和室外环境获益，因为公司减少使用了对人体有害的化学清洁剂，同时客户也不会再吸入那么多的二手烟。
员工从一个更健康的室内环境中受益。并且这个全民动员的项目也让员工及其集体受益。
环境管理系统，尤其是在度假村区域实行的环境管理系统，也会使当地居民受益 — 该系统会让游客有一个更好的体验，并且减少了额外的公共设施需求，如供水、能源生成、废水处理和废物处理装置填充等。
业主和管理人员也会获益：能源使用量减少，用水成本降低，被评定为绿色酒店/度假村也会为酒店带来额外的收益。
我们如何开始？
最重要的行动是开始执行。一旦公司领导层同意给予环境管理系统（EMS）以支持，下一步就是设定好计划和框架。获全球认可和尊重的全球标准组织（ISO）创立了一个EMS框架 — ISO 14001，还有一些其它框架，但ISO 14001的应用范围最广。全球标准组织为推动企业的可持续发展使用的环境管理系统其循环流程框架如下图所示：
如何结束这个系统？希望你永远也不要结束使用这个系统，你只保持提高它的效能就好了。

Why do you need an Environmental Management System?
by Alphonse L. Johnson 30 April 2013
Why not? Environmental Management Systems (EMS) are the framework that help companies improve their energy efficiency and their environmental sustainability. Anybody out there wish to waste energy, money and harm our environment?
What is it? The basic seven elements of a company’s EMS are as follows:
Establishing the company’s environmental goals.
Reviewing the company’s legal requirements and environmental impact.
Establishing measurable objectives and targets to reduce environmental impact and be in legal compliance.
Creating and implementing programs that will meet the established objectives and targets.
Communicating with and involving all the staff by creating environmental awareness and knowledge.
Measuring progress towards achieving the objective and targets.
Reviewing and sharing progress towards meeting EMS goals, and seek ways to keep improving both the process and improvement.
What are the critical success factors?
Gaining the support for an EMS from the company’s leadership.
Creating measurable and achievable goals.
Communicating and sharing the objectives, targets and results with both the internal and external stakeholders.
Celebrate the successes and learn from the errors.
Keep it fresh and make it fun.
Who benefits?
Guests benefit from a cleaner indoor and outdoor environment through the reduced usage of harmful cleaning chemicals and second-hand tobacco smoke.
The staff also benefit from the healthier indoor environment and a team building event that benefits them and their community.
EMS, particularly at resort locations, also benefit the local community by enhancing the destination experience and reducing the needs for additional infrastructure, such as water supplies, energy generation, waste water plants and land fill for waste disposal.
The ownership and management benefit from reduced energy and water costs, additional revenues for being recognized as a Green hotel/resort.
How do we start?
The most important action is to get started. Once the company leadership has agreed to support an EMS, the next step is find an established plan and framework. The globally recognized and respected International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has already created an EMS framework, known as ISO 14001, there are several others available but this is the most widely used. The ISO uses the following circular framework for its EMS that promotes continuous improvement.
How do you finish? Hopefully you never finish, you just keep improving.
