Environmental management is not, as the phrase could suggest, the
management of the environment as such, but rather the management of
human impact upon the environment. The three main issues that affect
managers are those involving politics (networking), programs (projects), and
resources (money, facilities, etc.). Environmental management is therefore
not the conservation of the environment solely for the environment's sake, but
rather the conservation of the environment for humankind's sake.
Environmental management involves the management of all
components of the biophysical environment, both living (biotic) and non-
living (abiotic). The environment also involves the relationships of the
human environment, such as the social, cultural and economic environment
with the biophysical environment.
As with all management functions, effective management tools,
standards and systems are required. An environmental management standard
or system or protocol attempts to reduce environmental impact as measured
by some objective criteria.
The ISO 14001 standard (ISO – International Standardization
Organization – Международная организация стандартизации, МОС) is
the most widely used standard for environmental risk management. Other
environmental management systems (EMS) tend to be based on the ISO
14001 standard and many extend it in various ways:
Other strategies exist that rely on making simple distinctions rather than
building top-down management systems. For instance, Ecological Intelligent
Design divides products into consumables, service products or durables and
unsaleables – toxic products that no one should buy, or in many cases, do not
realize they are buying. By eliminating the unsaleables from the available
purchase, better environmental management is achieved without systems.
Today's businesses must comply with many Federal, State and local
environmental laws, rules, and regulations. It's vital to insure that your
company followed the law and assumed important environmental liabilities.
