dc.descriptionAs part of any EMS, it is necessary to produce a Manual. This UNEP EMS Manual will be used as a guideline to measure future improvements in all aspects of the EMS. The Manual also provides the framework for establishing the key components of the EMS and the management procedures for those areas to be specifically targeted by the EMS. This Manual will be used during and upon the conclusion of each EMS cycle (4 years). In line with ISO 14001 requirements, the purpose and objective of the Manual is to provide: - A user-friendly reference resource for UNEP HQ, OaHs, and in-scope MEAs on the rationale for the establishment, implementation and maintenance of the UNEP EMS. - Guidance and procedures on the establishment, implementation, and maintenance of the EMS - this is to act as both a reference resource for the current EMS and a foundation for future reviews and upgrades of the EMS. - Specific instructions and procedures for the integration of the principles and actions associated with effective environmental assessment, protection, and management into UNEP's activities. - A training tool for those Sustainability Focal Points that will be responsible for establishing, implementing and maintaining the EMS for UNEP HQ, OaHs and in-scope MEAs.en
