Background: The Environmental Management System (EMS) is a unique way to develop an environmental policy with adequate planning, including implementation, operation, checking, and management review. Objective: The main stages of the EMS encompass environmental policy, planning, implementation, evaluation, and review. Method: A number of environmental standards (ISO 14000), which were drawn up by the international standardization organization, form an essential part of an EMS. This management system introduces environmental management into the day-to-day functions, long-term operations, and resource management frameworks of the organization. Results: This overview provides important information about the role of the EMS in water resource management and the scope of the EMS in the water system. This management system is used as an instrument to promote sustainable development in society. Conclusion: This paper sheds light on the topic of a sustainable water environment. In addition, some recognized successful EMS systems were reviewed and illustrated. We believe this review provides a guide to a fruitful water environment for successful urbanization planning.

Today, environmental pollution is a global problem. Industrialization, rapid urbanization, technological advances, economic developments and increasing world population have brought environmental pollution with them. Environmental pollution has reached a level that threatens human health and safety. Environmental management systems are useful and important in many ways such as reducing the negative effects of businesses on the environment, creating a safe working environment, preventing pollution, reducing costs, reducing risks, improving environmental performance, and improving corporate image. The aim of this study is to emphasize the importance of ISO 14000 environmental management system standards for sustainable development and environment in business. In this direction, the study explains sustainable development, sustainable environment, the characteristics, importance, development, stages, standards and benefits of the ISO 14000 environmental management system for businesses.

Topicality. The transformation of the existing system of environmental management and creation of new organizational and economic forms of management becomes of particular relevance at the present stage of the development of civilization. The state system of environmental management primarily implements the objectives of environmental policy, taking into account the socio-ecological and economic interests of society and maintaining the environmental balance on the territory of the country. Implementation in the national legislation of the rules and directives of the EU environmental legislation, their adaptation to environmental policy in accordance with internal environmental realities is a modern international requirements of the EU and involves a reorientation of organization of the economic actors and the search for new forms and methods for ensuring the functional management of the processes of ecologization of the country's economy.Aim and tasks. The aim of the article is a theoretical analysis of the basic principles of functional transformation of the system of environmental management of economy and the substantiation of its priorities for the development.Research results. Analyzing the research of foreign and domestic scientists, we came to the conclusion that the transformation of the environmental management system is one of the requirements of the international system of environmental management standardization, which requires its functional expansion and systemic, methodological deepening.The functional transformation of the environmental management system has to follow international requirements and have appropriate principles of harmonization, sound legislative framework and high efficiency of environmental management and control tools.The necessity of using the process of management not as a fragmentary, spontaneous process, but as a system of purposeful, scientifically substantiated mechanisms of regularization the totality of socio-ecological and economic relations is substantiated.In this case, the main role in the mechanisms should belong to the economic forms and methods of "primary production", adapted to the process of development of new patterns and trends.The very process of economic management provides for an objective need to forecast the possible consequences of the influence of the chosen regulatory mechanisms on the resource-environmental situation, and scientific substantiation must be confirmed by the degree of achievement of the targets.Conclusion. The need for functional expansion of environmental management and the development of scientific and methodological support for environmental management of the economy is the basis for ensuring the functional transformation of the modern management system in Ukraine. Approaches to assess the effectiveness of the components of the system of environmental management of the sectoral economy that will ensure the long-term socio-ecological and economic development of the country constitute the subject and prospects for further research in this direction.

The National Energy Board (NEB) believes that effective management systems are an integral part of managing safety and protection of the environment. Management systems allow for flexibility while ensuring that a comprehensive approach to managing risk is taken. This paper focuses on taking the systems approach to safety and environmental management in a quasi-judicial regulatory environment, particularly the NEB. The NEB is developing and implementing a Safety and Environmental Management System (SEMS) using the same “principle-based approach” as the internationally recognized ISO 14001 standard and OHSAS 18001 specification. It is the understanding of the NEB that it is the first regulatory agency in Canada to formally implement a safety and environmental management system to improve internal programs and processes. Under the goal-oriented Onshore Pipeline Regulations - 1999, the NEB requires pipeline companies to “develop and implement an environmental protection program to anticipate, prevent, mitigate and manage conditions that have a potential to adversely affect the environment”. While no regulations require the NEB to implement a management system, the NEB is proactively taking its own advice and meeting the same requirements of the companies it regulates. The development and implementation of the SEMS will help to consolidate and integrate internal NEB safety and environmental efforts as well as assist in clarifying their regulatory role, expectations, and responsibilities in regards to safety and environmental protection. The NEB has completed the first step of the development and implementation of the SEMS, including the development and communication of the NEB Environmental Policy and a draft of an integrated Safety & Environmental Policy; identification of objectives, targets and performance indicators; and improvements to existing programs and processes. The NEB Environmental Policy will be phased out once the integrated policy is approved and communicated. The second step includes conducting a detailed gap analysis to identify and prioritize areas for improvement as well as integrating the SEMS into the existing NEB business planning cycle. By fully incorporating the defined SEMS into the annual NEB business planning cycle, the management system approach will be used as the basis for setting internal safety and environmental priorities, work planning and continual improvement.
