Environmental management includes, among other things, assessment of environmental impacts, integration of environmental issues into the organization&#8217;s operations, monitoring and reporting of environmental issues, and continuous improvement.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is environmental management important?<\/h2>\n<p>Environmental management is important because it helps organizations reduce their environmental impact and promote sustainable development. It can also bring the organization a competitive advantage in the market when environmental awareness grows and environmentally friendly products and services are in demand. In addition, environmental management can help the organization comply with legislation and avoid environmental risks.<\/p>\n<h2>How is environmental management implemented in practice?<\/h2>\n<p>Environmental management can be implemented, for example, with the help of the ISO 14001 standard, which is an international standard for managing environmental systems. The organization can also develop its own environmental management practices and processes. What is important is the commitment to consider environmental issues at all levels of the organization and continuous development to achieve environmental goals.<\/p>\n<h2>Sources:<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ymparisto.fi\/fi-FI\/Ymparisto\/Ymparistosujelu\/Ymparistojajertelmat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ymp\u00e4rist\u00f6.fi &#8211; Environmental systems<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Environmental management is the organization&#8217;s strategic approach to managing environmental issues and sustainable development.
