The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Office of Environmental Quality offers assistance to divisions/units in the implementation of an Environmental Management System
(EMS). The EMS is based on the ISO 14001 standard as a way of demonstrating environmental
leadership, environmental responsibility, and commitment to continual improvement. An EMS is
a structured management methodology that allows a department, business unit, or organization
to demonstrate a focus on meeting, or in some cases exceeding, regulatory compliance. It
enables consistent and repeatable environmental performance, and accountability that promotes continual improvement by establishing policy, setting improvement goals, and establishing
programs to achieve those goals.
