Sector Points-of-Contact
EPA staff are Sector Points-of-Contact. We are a
resource for regulators and businesses.
As sector experts, analysts, and advisors, we facilitate
government-industry communications and develop
strategies with our partners to:
              Overcome barriers
              to environmental
              improvement

              • Promote the use of
               Environmental
               Management
               Systems

                > Measure
                 performance
         The Sector Strategies Program is
          Part of EPA's National Center for
                Environmental Innovation
    NCEI provides a testing ground for innovative
     ideas that advance environmental protection.
     The Center assists EPA programs and regions
         in adopting innovative approaches that
              support improved performance.

  Promote Use of
  Environmental  Management
  Systems (EMS)
  Partners design strategies to:
  • Evaluate EMS needs and capabilities of each sector
  • Create the right EMS tools for each sector
  • Achieve widespread EMS adoption throughout
   each sector

  Sector associations provide leadership
  and direction.

  A Systems Approach: Plan, Do, Check, Act
  An EMS is a proven process to manage all the
  environmental aspects of your operations. You assess
  your impacts, set improvement targets, carry out
  plans to achieve them, and monitor results.
