The Environmental Management System (EMS) has two areas of focus: environmental compliance and environmental sustainability. This page addresses sustainability.
To achieve the objectives and goals identified in Executive Orders and Memos, DOE Order 430.1C, Chg 2, DOE Order 436.1A, and the DOE Sustainability Plan, LM implemented teams to address the following sustainability areas:
EMS Sustainability Teams
EMS sustainability teams consist of a team lead, an LM advocate, an LMS senior management champion, and other knowledgeable employees. Each sustainability team is responsible for these activities:
- Implementing, managing and promoting their individual sustainability area.
- Identifying a specific achievable mission, along with metrics to assist in evaluating progress toward the required objectives.
- Reporting progress quarterly and annually.
