The aim of an EMS is to manage, control and continuously improve a company’s environmental performance. EMS ensures a systematic and controlled approach. It is a management system, which implies that decision-making and allocation of resources is a management responsibility. Today, EMS is a useful tool for combination of business and environmental interests, because EMS is management of resources (materials, chemicals, fuel etc.) and emissions are also associated with costs for e.g. treatment and taxes. A reduction in emissions will be beneficial both economically and for the environment. Latvian companies implementing EMS may choose to have an informal (certifiable) management system, or to get a formal approval – a certified management system – in accordance with existing EMS standards, e.g. ISO 14001 (International standard) or Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) – European standard. EMS corresponds to quality management systems like ISO 9000, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Total Quality Management (TQM).

The main aspects of EMAS could be shown in a systematic way: Company Site Environmental Objectives 1. Company Environmental Policy 2. Initial Environmental Review Environmental Programme Audit Cycle Environmental Audit 4. Environmental Statement Environmental management System The new EMAS regulation tries to harmonize EMAS with ISO certification, which is the favourite in many countries. Therefore, it provides easier accessibility to EMAS for such companies who already have ISO certification. In such cases, preliminary review is not required, whereas environmental statement and verification are necessary. That’s a big advantage for Latvia, because, at present moment, about 14 Latvian companies have received ISO 14000 certificates. But more and more Latvian companies are willing to integrate EMS and receive ISO 14001 certificate. The companies had not been working with EMS before and there was no appointed specific environmental manager or other responsible person. Environmental management was new to all companies. 109
