change factors are increasingly prominent as are legacy issues such as contaminated land. Wider factors can also be included, such as impacts on
wildlife (biodiversity) and use of materials (such as embodied water). In implementing an EMS, a company will identify the significant effects relevant
to its business. For maximum effectiveness, an EMS should not be set up as a stand alone system, but built into the exiting management structure
