<p style="text-align: center"><img alt="" src="~url~/uploads/image/env-manag-sys_art.jpg" style="margin: 40px 0px 20px" /></p><p>HMP provides support with International Organization for Standardization&rsquo;s ISO 14001:2004 which outlines the requirements for Environmental Management Systems (EMS) for organizations wishing to operate in an environmentally sustainable manner. We offer our unique, integrative approach for combining ISO 14001 EMS Standard and ISO 14064:2006 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Accounting and Verification Standard for all types of organizations. This integration can also be accomplished with any other existing ISO system in place, such as ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management Systems (QMS).</p><p>Our approach facilitates implementation of GHG management within an organization&rsquo;s existing or new EMS. It allows consolidation into a single, comprehensive system designed to be managed by the organization for all of its environmental aspects and impacts. A separate set of requirements for carbon management that need to be controlled outside of the organization&rsquo;s EMS are avoided.</p><p>We perform gap assessments between an organization&rsquo;s existing EMS and ISO 14001:2004 and 14064:2006 standards. The results of these assessments help us evaluate conformance to the aforementioned standards and identify unaccounted for elements required by these standards. Our team of experts develops missing EMS elements and addresses requirements for related documented records, procedures, and training. We employ a comprehensive approach incorporating environmental aspects and impacts related to GHG emissions such as direct emissions from stationary and mobile combustion sources, indirect emissions from electricity use, direct fugitive emissions from use of refrigeration and air conditioning refrigerants, and others. Additional sustainability measures including, but not limited to, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for building or building portfolios, transportation programs, sustainable purchasing, recycling, and green cleaning are also married into a common EMS Plan.</p><p>Additional consideration may also be given to the new ISO 50001 Energy Management standard, currently under development, that establishes a framework for organizations, commercial facilities, and industries to manage energy.&nbsp; Our core team has a key member on the ISO Technical Committee - TC 242 that is involved in formulating this new standard.&nbsp;</p><p>We strategize and educate clients on how to achieve real, measurable value from their EMS whether seeking improvement or certification. We provide assistance through the process of self or third-party certification. We specialize in on-site training for both management and employees to ensure successful implementation of EMS and its continual improvement.</p><p>Some of the services offered for integration of environmental and carbon management system solutions include:</p>
