Management Systems, EMAS

Centre for Innovation and Development works systematically on developing and innovating tools for managements systems of companies and organisations, with focus on environmental management systems (EMS).
Positive effects of implemented management systems include utilisation of hidden operational savings, encouragement of effective decision making, prevention of accidents, reducing amounts of dangerous substances and dangerous waste, minimising operational risks, complying with the requirements of waste legislation as well as reducing administrative costs for implementing and operating the system. 
Centre for Innovation and Development develops tools for implementation of the management systems using methods for pollution prevention that help to search systematically for operating savings not only in the production process. Implementation of an integrated system makes your management activites more effective and less complicated.
Our offer to companies includes complete implementation of the system or its parts: EMS (EMAS, ISO 14001), QMS (ISO 9001), OHSAS 18001. The system can be implemented by modules as well. Companies are recommended to carry out initial environmental review. Its results will determine the complexity of EMS implementation.
