the need for and extent of operational control with respect to design, purchase and operation
Emergency preparedness and response – no great change but now a requirement to ‘periodically review’

Agenda
• EMS & Why ?• Business drivers for an EMS at Sparsholt College• An FM’s perspective• Benefits of having an EMS• Benefits already seen & projects going forward

ent Why?
• An Environmental Management System is a mechanism that enables an organisation to identify and manage & reduce their environmental impacts NOT JUST A BADGE
• Requires total commitment of organisation – to prevent pollution and comply with legal & other applicable requirements
• Drives continual improvement
• No two EMS’s are the same. Every organisation is different with a unique set of positive and negative environmental impacts
Ultimately the aim of an EMS is to reduce the organisation’s impact on the environment

ent Business drivers for an EMS
• Reduced costs:energy, waste, water
• Management: improved data = better decisions• Marketing:
attract students, stafffunding from investors support from industry
• Legal compliance & risk control• Improve / protect brand and reputation• Market reassurance• Enhanced student experience• Improves communication between departments

ent EMS from the inside – an FM’s perspective
First thought - College is just “badging”
Second thought - I don’t have the time or resources to do this
Then realisation that 75% of systems / processes already in place
Realisation of benefits to the organisation
Committed to achieving ISO14001, but not just for the “badge”
Envi

ent
* attract students who care about the environment and would like to attend a College that also cares - generates income
* allow the College to continue to improve its environmental performance (sustainability is one of our key values)
* allow the effective targeting of the most significant environmental impacts (College has limited resources)
* give the College confidence that it is conforming with legal and other requirements
* attract the very best members of personal to apply to work at the College
* encourage staff to stay at the College --> reduced cost though advertising, enrolling and staff training as a result of a high turn around of staff
Benefits already realised
