Abstract
Abstract GKN's operations range widely. A prescriptive system of management was not appropriate. Instead a series of templates which guided companies in the development of their own systems. Each template consisted of five boxes each with a description of some of the attributes of an environmental management system. The boxes were numbered one to five with each box representing an increasing level of sophistication of the system. The system was refined using a second set of templates to measure environmental risk. A matrix in which each of the environmental disciplines was plotted according to its risk and the management systems in place to control it. This identified risks that were not managed well. This system enabled companies to develop appropriate environmental management systems. The system has been in operation for five years in which time there has been a continuous improvement in the environmental management of the Group.
