Environmental Management System

In July 2011, UEL passed an inspection for Phase 3 (of 5) of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) 'Acorn' standard. This provides accreditation that we have an Environmental Management System (EMS) that adheres to the BS8555 standard, which shows good environmental practice, and robust procedural controls over our environmental impacts.

In January 2012, UEL also received ISO 14001 certification for its EMS.

An EMS is a structured framework for managing an organisation's significant impacts on the environment.

• It helps to manage and improve environmental performance, including compliance with environmental laws and regulations.
• It can generate financial savings through efficient practices (e.g. cutting waste and energy use).
• It improves standing and reputation with staff, students, partner organisations and wider stakeholders.
