This paper examines the potential interrelationships between the environmental impact assessment (EIA) and environmental management systems (EMS) process. It begins by looking at the project cycle and the role of EIA in the planning and design phase. The links between the initial environmental review phase of environmental management systems and the EIA report recommendations is examined and it is noted that the format of EIA reports does not readily assist the development of an EMS. The paper finds that the recommendations from an EIA could be structured and summarised to make them more accessible and that certifying the EMS could become a means of ensuring their implementation.

The integration of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Management Systems (EMS) has been approached several times in recent years. This article reviews existing conceptual frameworks and specific issues regarding the EIA-EMS integration, and recommends a new conceptual framework which is based on an alternating sequence of EMS and EIA. It also proposes adaptations in key documents of both processes. The recommendations are adaptable to the varied practice of EIA across the globe, and conform to the ISO14001-compliant EMS protocol.
