EMS IN KALMAR

Kalmar municipality has taken a big challenge to implement an environmental management system, according to ISO 14 001 in all administrations and municipal companies. The process towards EMS, eco management system, is long and sometimes quite hard.

The first survey in 1996 showed interest of the heads of departments and municipality owned companies, as well as of politicians. In September 1996 the executive committee took the decision that the whole municipality should start the progress towards implementing EMS in accordance with ISO 14 001 or EMAS.

Today Kalmar Energy and the real estate depertments are certified according to ISO 14 001. Our water and waste management company, as well as the first pioneer school plan to reach this goal in the next few months. Most of the departments have an environmental investigation done and policy taken but with the implementation of EMS still to come.
