Since sustainability is a concept that affects many different departments and disciplines, it can often be difficult to be owned by and effectively managed within the organization. The Sustainability Management System (SMS) and Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS) Projects, which are designed specifically for corporations by Escarus, aim to build sustainability, environmental and social governance as a business model for the corporation and integrate them into all processes of the corporation.
Escarus has provided the SMS and ESMS infrastructure implementation services to many different organizations in Turkey and abroad since 2011. The main purpose of these projects is to monitor the sustainability performance and to ensure the systematic management of environmental, social/reputational risks. The Sustainability / Environmental and Social Management System aims to directly associate the “economic-environmental-social-managerial” activities – which are independent of each other – of each institution with the corporate strategy and business results. It also aims to internalize the subject within the framework of the corporate culture and to create a strategic sustainability roadmap.
At the point currently reached, the systems referred to as the Sustainability Management System / Environmental and Social Management System have been transformed into integrated systems. These include different various such the measurement of environmental impacts, waste management, carbon emission management, corporate social responsibility projects, working conditions, training, stakeholder communication and sustainability reporting infrastructure, in addition to the corporate governance organization and the development of policies and commitments.
The SMS/ESMS project approach undertaken by Escarus is a structure built on fundamental approaches such as different sustainability-themed index methodologies, the ISO 14001, ISO 14064 standards and the Sustainable Development Goals.
The basic contents of an effective management system should be designed specific to the dynamics, internal functioning and sensitivities of the organization and should be tailored to the institution. Therefore, the infrastructure established by Escarus is designed in line with customer expectations and in a manner which meets the expectations of the stakeholders which it cooperates with or plans to cooperate with.
While the designed systems are finalized in line with the opinions of the institution, at the same time, the extensive diffusion of the subject within the institution and capacity development are ensured with the training and workshops specially prepared for the institution. In the remote support process, which is an option offered by Escarus, assistance is provided in the internalization of the system within the organization.
