Organisational impacts on the environment have been a primary topic of discussion for several decades, prompting a need for organisations to eva- luate and manage their environmental impacts. Environmental management systems have since been adopted by companies worldwide for numerous reasons and benefits. In more recent years, IT solutions have been designed to meet the various needs of environmental management but with little at- tention drawn to a standardised approach.   The following thesis aims to determine the use of IT adopted by organisa- tions to support their environmental management systems (EMSs). In doing so, the importance of EMSs, IT solutions to support EMSs and the benefits of IT for such systems are addressed. A small number of informative inter- views were conducted with EMS consultants and numerous representatives of ISO 14001 certified companies to establish what IT solutions are availa- ble to support EMSs and identify the differences between such solutions.   This thesis demonstrates that IT solutions adopted by organisations to sup- port their EMSs differ in complexity and depend upon the expected results of the EMS itself. Depending on how integral the EMS is to the organisa- tion’s business processes, IT can benefit the EMS and ultimately the organi- sation in a number of ways. In conclusion, EMSs can be implemented with little technical aid. However, IT is a communicative tool adopted to review, manage and monitor environmental data and enables easier handling of en- vironmental data enhancing the performance of the EMS.

The goal of this thesis is consumption of ISO norms within OK Mont Inc. company, specifically the EMS as one of the optional activities of an organization to the environmental protection. The theoretical part defines and compares approaches to the implementation of the EMS – the norm of ISO 14001 and the EMAS program. The practical part describes the implementation process and the EMS functioning within the company. The attention is mainly drawn to reasons, draft, costs and benefits connected with the implementation and the maintenance of the system.

The goal of the submitted thesis “The Suggestion and the Construction Environmental Management” is to analyze significance of environmental management system, description of tools of EMS implementation and introduction style in firm TTK CZ s. r. o.. The first part is concentrated on environmental policy concerning the business sphere. In the second part there is a general description of implementation tools of EMS, significance of EMS implementation and benefits of system. In the final part I characterize the firm TTK CZ s. r. o. which displays growing interest in achievement and demonstration of good environmental profile by management of operation impacts, products and services to environment in compliance with environmental policy.
