The book covers the way EMSs are structured to achieve continuous improvements in environmental performance including practical advice for businesses that wish to achieve accreditation; key issues that companies or those studying EMSs should be aware of in order to ensure that optimum benefits are gained from the use of an EMS; different strategies that companies may adopt to achieve an EMS; and the challenges that arise when trying to integrate EMSs into the business strategy.
