Effective Management System Support

Most organisations have some impact on the environment. These impacts can be managed and environmental performance improved with a formal system such as the Environmental Management System standard ISO14001. However, in some cases, a less formal system can be used which may be more appropriate to the size of your organisation. Through a flexible approach we can ensure that attention is focused on meaningful environmental targets and objectives based on your business needs.  

We also believe that integrating your environment, health, safety and quality system can bring many benefits. At Ciba, we have the knowledge to support clients in combining requirements such as system procedures, performance expectations and planned objectives in an efficient and constructive way.  

Companies are also realising the benefit of publicly reporting on their EHS performance, and pressure from stakeholders means that information needs to be presented in a clear and informative manner. Ciba can provide experts to assist with implementation, auditing and reporting on your management systems and EHS performance.

If your site has to comply with IPPC requirements, management of the operations under IPPC legislation can be more straightforward if a formal environmental management system (EMS) is in place. There is no doubt that a site with a formal EMS will find demonstration of Best Available Techniques (BAT) for IPPC compliance easier than one without.  This could be due to having a system for recording environmental data, or by having procedures for controlling and minimising pollution, or even from gaining knowledge of an operations environmental impact through EMS implementation.   

Our services and expertise in this field include:

• EHS Management Systems – Implementation, auditing and training
• EHS Reporting Systems – data gathering and reporting
