THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR EMS IMPLEMENTATION IN ROMANIAN ORGANIZATIONS
Abstract
Companies decide to implement an EMS for a variety of reasons, and choose the type of EMS that corresponds to their needs, aspirations, and capacities. In doing so, they need to think about the ways in which they wish to imbed their EMS within overall corporate strategies and how to link it with other management support tools that they have in place. If an EMS is not supported by appropriate corporate governance is unlikely to have an efficient impact. For example, the responsibility for corporate environmental policies needs to be placed with managers who have both the resources and the authority to make an impact throughout the company. Also, when environmental management systems are broadly consistent with other management tools used by an enterprise, important synergies can be reaped.
