| Summary: | Environmental and social responsibility
is becoming more and more important in today’s global
economy. There are thousands of environmental and social
codes and standards in the world today. The codes and
standards define the rules and the objectives. But the
challenge is in the implementation. An environmental and
social management system (ESMS) helps companies to integrate
the rules and objectives into core business operations,
through a set of clearly defined, repeatable processes. This
handbook is intended to be a practical guide to help
companies in the food and beverage industry develop and
implement an environmental and social management system,
which should help to improve overall operations. Sections I
and II provide background on ESMS in the food and beverage
industry. Section III provides step-by-step instructions on
how to develop and implement an ESMS. For more publications
