INTRODUCTION
Companies which have established an EMS are beginning to realise that this is only the first step in a process of evolution towards a sustainable business which meets the needs and expectations of all of its stakeholders in the long term.
The concept of sustainability is multi-dimensional, involving economic, environmental and social issues. Even the environmental dimension has many facets. This complexity makes it difficult to identify where to start or what steps to take in practice.
EMAG can help companies understand the different elements of sustainable development and their relevance to the business. We can provide advice and assistance on all steps in the development and implementation of a sustainable development strategy, including:
Defining the characteristics of a sustainable business
Benchmarking your performance against the best companies worldwide
Benchmarking your performance against the best companies in your sector
Identifying strategic goals and developing programmes to meet the goals
