Introduction to Environmental
Management Systems
for Air Navigation Service Providers

1
Foreword
Increasingly, CANSO is observing a greater
desire for Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs)
to implement global systems that assist them to
manage the impact their business and operations
have on the environment.
Recognising the need to support ANSPs
to manage the environmental expectations
placed upon them, CANSO has developed this
Introduction to Environmental Management
Systems as a preliminary information package for
ANSPs seeking guidance on what is required to
establish an industry recognised Environmental
Management System (EMS).
CANSO acknowledges that many of its
members are already advanced in their ability to
accurately manage environmental issues, however
we recognise that further information is required if
all members are to create consistent management
practices. This document is designed to explain
the benefits, the key elements, and best practice
when seeking to implement an EMS.
The information compiled in this document
has been sourced through questionnaires to
CANSO members and developed through wide
industry review and input form the CANSO
Environment Workgroup.

4. What challenges has your organisation

faced?
The biggest challenge faced has been the
training of staff and changing the culture of the
organisation. A priority for effective EMS is to develop
an environmentally sustainable culture (like ANSPs
have had in safety for many years). An EMS does not
work without visible top management commitment
supporting a business culture that is led from the
top.
5. What benefits have accrued, either with
staff, politicians, or direct financial benefit?
The single leading benefit has been the
identification of legal and regulatory obligations the
organisation needs to comply with and to assure
that these are being complied with. The ISO14001
certification also allowed Airservices Australia to
comply with a Government direction that required
all agencies and departments to implement an
ISO14001 certification of at least one site.
6. In your view has the EMS helped
Airservices achieve continuous improvement in
reducing environmental impact?
The EMS has allowed Airservices to identify
the environmental aspects of its activities to
determine those that have significant impacts
and potential liabilities as well as identifying all
legislative and regulatory requirements. The
requirements for continuous improvement allow
Airservices Australia to ensure that the EMS
remains relevant to the organisation, review the
effectiveness of the system, determine the extent
to which environmental objectives and targets have
been met, and identify required change to reflect
concerns of interested parties such as regulators,
government, customers and communities.

to incidents.

Checking
Checking involves identifying and handling
deviations or improvement activities. There are
a few different ways for organisations to do
this. Subsequent actions include measuring,
monitoring, and evaluating so-called environmental
performances. Environmental performance is a
means of expressing a company’s environmental
aspects in the form of ratios.
An environmental audit involves a systematic,
recorded, objective and periodical evaluation of an
organisation’s EMS, environmental organisation
and routines as well as equipment. An organisation
normally uses external as well as internal audits.
The aim of conducting checks is to verify if
the environmental management system is fully
functioning to the requirements specified by the
management.

Management Review
During the management review, the whole
of the organisation’s EMS should be discussed.
Management should review the system to check its
suitability, adequacy, objectivity and efficiency. It is
not necessary to cover all parts of the environmental
management system at the same time but all should
be covered within a certain time period, for example
during a calendar year.
The results from both the internal and
external audits, records, measurements, deviations
and management plan are an aid to briefing

How can CANSO help?
It is the aim of CANSO to support ANSPs in their efforts to raise the individual and collective
performance of the ATM system. The CANSO Environment Workgroup is committed to improving
ATM operational and environmental performance through the delivery of guidance material and
benchmarking metrics, and the spread of best practice throughout the industry. CANSO also provides
a global forum for the ATM industry to debate and agree global solutions to key issues and to
establish industry goals.
The CANSO Environment Workgroup will continue to explore ways to assist ANSPs manage
