How environmental management can deliver value to organisations

Higher temperatures, increased rainfall with associated flooding and a rise in droughts are being
experienced globally. Ecosystems and biodiversity continue to be negatively impacted. There are
global targets to mitigate and adapt to climate change and halt the decline of nature by 2030 and
bring about a reversal by 2050, through net zero and the UN Global Biodiversity Framework, with
different countries developing their own internal targets to deliver improvement. This paper sets out the case for environmental management as the bedrock of sustainability and a core asset of high value in effective organisation administration. An environmental management system can be used to manage environmental risks effectively and maximise opportunities to achieve long-term prosperity.
This guide is for non-environmental/sustainability senior executives and managers to support their
understanding of the value and benefit of a good environmental management system. This paper
provides an overview of what an environmental management system is, how it can benefit
organisations, how it fits into other management systems across organisations, and the value that
environmental management can bring to operations. Of the ‘Top 10’ long-term (10 years) risks to organisations, as outlined by the World Economic Forum, five (including the top four) relate to the environment:

1. Extreme weather events
2. Biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse
3. Critical change to earth systems
4. Natural resource shortages
5. Pollution
