Why is an EMS important for Denver?

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
An EMS will foster a city-wide environmental commitment, along with providing support to Greenprint Denver and the Mayor’s sustainability goals.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
"The use of an EMS is a promise to make environmentally savvy improvements continuously, in every city department, and within the job descriptions of every city employee." -City of Dallas 

An EMS can result in both Business and Environmental benefits...

  • Prevent pollution and conserve resources

  • Reduce/mitigate environmental impacts

  • Increase efficiency

  • Enhance compliance

  • Reduce operational costs

  • Enhance image with public, regulators, lenders, investors

  • Achieve/improve employee awareness of environmental issues and responsibilities

“Many people hear 'environmental management' and immediately think two things: bureaucracy and expense. But the EMS effort for us yielded dozens of real world, long-term cost savings in areas like reduced power and water use.”
 
-Billy Morace, Director of General Services, Jefferson County, Alabama
