The growing clamour for sustainability presents us with opportunities and challenges. In a community less and less polarised by the debate on climate change the results of a business survey are presented.

Surveyed to understand their preparedness to act, their level of awareness and any drivers to their actions, this will be presented and analysed. Their perceptions of EMS as a tool to meet the demands will be assessed.

Is EMS the tool to “save the planet” or simply part of the old way of thinking?

Is there more to be done?

As the picture becomes clearer it will be established what the role of EMS can be.
