This essential guide is designed to provide an understanding of how environmental aspects, such as inefficient use of energy, will impact on the planet's finite resources and how actions today will improve sustainability for future generations.

This practical and informative guide will enable managers and environmental practitioners to make a significant contribution to environmental impact reduction by the implementation of an environmental management system in their organisation.

The guide is an excellent source of information for those undergoing the following learning programmes: To meet the requirements of the NEBOSH National Certificate in Environmental Management Certificate syllabus, in particular; IEMA Environmental Certificate; IEMA open assessment towards associate membership; Those following courses of study under LANTRA syllabi; To develop managers and supervisors knowledge and understanding when preparing site waste management plans for construction projects; To develop and enhance competency and skills needed for facilities managers.
