Since 2014, Pollution Prevention Services has hosted 1-day “EMS (Environmental Management Systems) In Depth” workshops for Iowa environmental professionals. Due to popular demand, this workshop series continues and offers another step in the development of your environmental management system.

“EMS In Depth: Aspects/Impacts, Objectives/Targets & Internal Audits” will be will be focused on addressing some of the key foundational elements of your EMS. In the morning we will cover the successful identification of effective Aspects & Impacts and Objectives & Targets.

There will be dedicated workshop time for open discussion to share your examples and get tips on how to improve your organization’s EMS.
