INTRODUCTION

For a well-designed EMS, your organization must address risks and opportunities.  These may arise from important aspects of your business, compliance obligations, or other issues related to your organizational context.  So while you can build your EMS on the best practice ISO 14001 standard, it needs to be relevant to your risks and opportunities. Therefore, it is critical to understand risk-based thinking to ensure that the actions you require can be integrated into your organization's processes to achieve an effective EMS.
