What is EMS?
Environmental management is the
framework and processes that we put in
place to understand what is causing an
impact on the environment from what
we do.
The Department of
Environment and Natural
What is Resources has established the
EMS Manual based on ISO
EMS in 14001:2015 - Environmental
Management Systems
the requirement with guidance for
use as a structured and
Philippines? systematic tool to deliver its
mandate to protect the
environment and natural
resources of the Philippines.
Organization for Standardization
(ISO) 14001:2015 is a What is ISO
certification that aims to provide
organization a structure for its
14001:2015
EMS to ensure that all and its
operational processes are
consistent, effective and will relevance to
achieve its environmental EMS?
objectives.
The DENR implements EMS to:
Endure that processes and activities are in accordance
1
with good environmental management consistent with
ISO 14001:2015;
2 Become a role model and influence other government
agencies and the private sector to practice sound
environmental performance in their offices.
3 Be more sufficient.
4 Practice self-regulation.
1. ENVIRONMENTAL
POLICY
This policy is the basis of the insights of the
company towards the environment, it also identifies
all the possible effects and impact of the product the
company is making towards to the environment, and
it also ensure that they are complying to the
environmental requirements that are needed in
order to continue operating.
2. ENVIRONMENTAL
REQUIREMENTS AND
VOLUNTARY INITIATIVES
This serves as a guidelines for all the member and
staffs of a company to maintain the environmental
requirements they need to pass and also identifies
the practices they can perform in order for their
manufacturing to meet the environmental
requirements that are essential.
3.OBJECTIVES/TARGETS
This serves as a guideline to follow to meet the
desired results for maintaining the goal of meeting
the environmental standards that are needed.
4. STRUCTURE,
RESPONSIBILITY, AND
RESOURCE
It guarantees that a company has enough personnel
and resource to perform certain tasks to meet
desired results from the objectives.
5.OPERATIONAL
CONTROL
It gives a guideline to follow for waste management
hierarchy, and formulate a simple procedures to
assess and give report to the impacts of the
processes and the product that can do to our
environment.
6. a). CREATIVE AND
PREVENTIVE ACTION AND
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Taking notes of what are the procedures for
identifying and correcting mistakes that are done
during procedures. This also develop plans that can
minimize the harmful and adverse effect that are
linked with accidents and mistakes
6. b.) CORRECTIVE AND
PREVENTIVE ACTION AND
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
It can develop a procedure that can possibly
minimize nor eliminate adverse effect on the
environment of the product or the process that the
company is doing during manufacturing, it also
document procedures for identifying and preventing
mistakes.
7.TRAINING AWARENESS
AND COMPETENCE
These are the key components for a successful
operations that can perform with accuracy and
precision that can lead to more pronounced results
for fulfilling pollution prevention methods.
8. ORGANIZATION
PREVENTION METHOD AND
PLANNING
Uses analysis to demonstrate the actual effects of
products to the environment and it makes all the
staffs and employees to perform prevention and
improvements that are requires to lessen the use of
significant resources.
9. DOCUMENT CONTROL
This is a method of storing useful information for
future uses, it requires electronic documentation
that can improve the record management and can
documents all pollution prevention methods
suggestions.
10. CONTINUOUS
EVALUATION AND
IMPROVEMENT
Records all the periodic based audits of the
company or an organization’s performance from
previous times. Then it is used to assess pollution
assessment and prevention methods that can be
performed.
Environmental
Impact Assessment
(EIA)
A PROCESS that involves predicting and
evaluating the likely impacts of a project on
What is
different environments like land, air, water, flora,
EIA?
fauna, and people at various stages of the project
development and more.
A TOOL that is used to assess the significant
effects of projects or development proposals on
different environments.
PHILIPPINES
In the Philippines, the Environmental Impact Assessment
IN THE
process is implemented by the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources(DENR) Environmental Management
Bureau(EMB). This process is officially known as the Philippine
Environmental Impact Statement System (PEISS) which was
established under PD1586 on 11 June 1978.

SCREENING
A categorization or evaluation of the project or
development needs to pass the screening process to
know the decision on whether or not a full EIA is to be
carried out. The project is classified according to
environmental sensitivity. The Guidelines for whether
or not an EIA is required will be country specific
depending on the laws or norms in operation.
SCOPING
Scoping defines the issues of a project or
development. It is when the major revisions to a
project proposal take charge. It is the process in which
the most critical issues to study will involve the
participation of a community to some degree. Scoping
is needed to identify the key environmental issues and
it is perhaps the most important step in EIA.
PREDICTION AND MITIGATION
This process identifies the impacts that are proposed.
After the scoping process and the major impacts have
been identified, prediction work can start. This stage is
the central part of the EIA. Several major options are
likely to have been proposed either at the scoping
stage or before and each option may require separate
prediction studies. The mitigation process cannot occur
without first estimating the scope and impacts, which
should be in monetary terms wherever possible. It then
becomes important to quantify the impact of the
suggested improvements by further prediction works.
MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING
It is often referred to as the Environmental Action Plan
or Environmental Management Plan. This stage is the
Implementation of Environmental Management Plan
including monitoring. This stage not only sets out the
mitigation measures needed for environmental
management, both in the short and long term, but also
the institutional requirements for implementation. The
options available for environmental management are:
changes in law; changes in price; changes in
governmental institutions; and, changes in culture
which may be influenced by education and information
dissemination.
AUDIT
Environmental Audit is needed in order to capitalise the
experience and knowledge gained. It is usually done by
a separate team of specialists that work on the bulk of
the EIA. The Audit will be the one to determine whether
recommendations and requirements made by the EIA
Steps were incorporated successfully into project
implementation. The audit should include an analysis
about the technical, procedural, and decision-making
aspects of the EIA.

ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT
It is the full-blown study that
establishes detailed baseline STATEMENT
characteristics of the environment
such as land, air, water, biota, and
people in the host site and vicinity of (EIS)
the project proposed. It is a
government document that is about
the impacts of a proposed project on
its surrounding environment.
ENVIRONMENTAL
PERFORMANCE
It is normally required if the project exists and REPORT
intends to expand, with the report focusing on AND
its environmental performance over the past 3
to 5 years of operation. The impacts on the MANAGEMENT
said expansion on the existing environmental

Environmental
Clearance Certificate
(ECC)
What is ECC in the
Philippines?
The Environmental Compliance Certificate WHAT IS
or ECC refers to the document issued by ECC?
the DENR-EMB that allows a proposed
project to proceed to the next stage of
project planning, which is the acquisition
of approvals from other government
agencies and LGUs, after which the
project can start implementation.
The Procedure for
Securing an ECC
To secure an ECC the project proponent must comply with the
requirements of the Philippine Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
System and show that the proposed project will not cause a significant
negative impact on the environment through its EIA. The ECC also
certifies that the proponent is committed to implement an approved
Environment Management Plan.
At its most basic, the procedure
for securing an ECC is as follows:
The proponent scopes the EIA they must conduct by consulting with the
1 stakeholders of a project, those who will be affected by it, including the public
in the vicinity of the project and DENR experts who will determine the technical
aspects of the EIA to be conducted.
The proponent conducts the EIA study based on the initial scoping, which
2 examines the impacts a project will have on the environment as well as the
current state of the environment at the project site.
At its most basic, the procedure
for securing an ECC is as follows:
An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is prepared, which is the report
3 based on the findings of the EIA study. This also includes plans to mitigate the
impacts of the project.
For large or critical projects, the EIS is reviewed by the DENR-EMB and
changes or additional information may be requested to improve it. This step is
4 repeated until the EIS meets the DENR-EMBs standards. It can take long if the
quality of the EIS prepared is not high, or if the thoroughness of the EIA is
insufficient.
At its most basic, the procedure
for securing an ECC is as follows:
The final EIS is submitted to the DENR-EMB for approval. If the project is
5 eligible, it will be awarded an ECC.
Certificate of
Non-Coverage
(CNC)
The Certificate of Non-Coverage or
What is
CNC is a document issued by the
Certificate of
Non-Coverage DENR's Environmental
(CNC) Management Bureau (EMB) that
exempts a project from obtaining
an Environmental Clearance
Certificate (ECC). The certification
serves as evidence of the absence
of any environmental threat during
the project's implementation.
