Yes. While there are many EMS models in existence, for the purposes of this Initiative, all 17 ISO 14001 elements must be addressed within an organizations EMS and each organizations EMS will be examined for evidence of these elements. While each of the 17 elements must be present, not all of the ISO 14001 requirements within each element are required.
