If people are not involved, every goal and target will require a lot more time and effort to be reached. Many believe that only a small group of people in an organization are responsible for the EMS but nothing is farther from the truth; the whole organization is responsible for the implementation, maintenance and improvement of the EMS.

(a)  

Organizations need to use the EMS as a tool to effectively define and monitor applicable legal requirements and other requirements.
