    An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a set of processes that helps organizations reduce their environmental impact and increase operational efficiency. An EMS integrates environmental considerations into daily operations and long-term planning. The primary goals of an EMS are to ensure wastewater is treated to minimize harm and monitor effluent quality. For industries like HJR that can affect the environment through wastes and wastewater, an EMS is necessary to improve performance and compliance with regulations. Effective implementation requires management commitment, resources, and a strategy with audits to ensure the EMS is properly followed.

    3 Environmental Management System (EMS)


    Environmental Management System (EMS) is a set of processes and practices that enable an
    organization to reduce its environmental impacts and increase the efficiency of the operation. It
    also monitors environmental performance, like a financial management system that monitors
    expenditure and income. An EMS integrates environmental management into a company's daily
    operations, long term planning and other quality management systems. A successful EMS
    implementation may lead to ISO 14001 certification.
    The primary goal is to ensure that wastewater is treated using technologies and practices that
    minimize harmful environmental impacts, and the sludge is removed during the treatment of
    wastewater. The other objective is to maintain a registry on effluent quality (i.e. on the treatment
    performance) of wastewater treatment systems.
    For the HJR industry wherein their wastes and wastewater can affect the environment, an
    EMS is necessary. This will improve the environmental performance of the company and achieve
    sustained compliance in existing and forthcoming regulations. To implement EMS, the company
    must have a strong commitment from the management, proper allocation of appropriate
    resources, and development of a strategy to be implemented within a specified period of time,
    and implementation using a combination of internal and external resources. Also, audits can be
    made to ensure whether EMS is really implemented or not. From the side of the auditor, he
    should ensure that each wastewater treatment plant is classified properly; quarterly or even
    weekly summary reports of wastewater quality; the sludge from wastewater treatment are treated
    or disposed of according to regulations.
