The Path to Transparency
The Global Environmental Management Initiative (GEMI) is an organization of companies dedicated to fostering environmental, health and safety excellence that promote a worldwide business ethic for environmental health and safety management and sustainable development through example and leadership.
Companies that understand the trends shaping the global business environment will be better positioned to identify new market opportunities, mitigate risk and develop sustainable strategies.
GEMI has followed the path of environmental management from compliance, to environmental management systems, to sustainability and now is engaging on the Path to Transparency.
