NCCOS EMS MANAGEMENT REVIEW
 

The management review is an opportunity for top management to receive a comprehensive update on environmental matters at the organization including the significant environmental aspects; the status of objectives, targets and management programs; important findings and trends from audits and monitoring programs; and the performance of EMS in general. This review allows them to assess the suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness of the EMS; provide input on the direction of key initiatives and objectives; and make resource decisions using accurate information.

At NCCOS the EMS management review is based on the NOAA standard (see below) and conducted by the Management Review Team consisting of the NCCOS Director, Deputy Director and Center Directors (see Roles and Responsibilities). At least annually, the EMS Coordinator will present a status report developed by the EMS team during one of the standing monthly meetings. In general, it consists of a presentation developed by the EMS team and presented by the EMS coordinator. Following this status report management will make recommendations and suggestions on the suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness of the EMS which will be incorporated into the system by the team.

The following presentation provides some additional background on the management review process: Background on the EMS Management Review.

The NCCOS Management Review is conducted per NCCOS EMS Standard EMS.015 Management Review.
