This Handbook is intended to be apractical guide to help companies in the constructionindustry develop and implement an environmental and socialmanagement system, which should help to improve overalloperations.In the current economic climate, companies areunder pressure to perform or even just survive.Newinitiatives are often met with resistance as people struggleto keep up with their day-to-day responsibilities.Somepeople think that an environmental and social managementsystem must be big, complicated and expensive.But that isnot really true.To be effective, a management system needsto be scaled to the nature and size of the company.If acompany has existing management systems for quality orhealth and safety, this Handbook will help to expand them toinclude environmental and social performance.Sections Iand II provide background on environmental and socialmanagement systems (ESMS) in the construction industry.Section III provides step-by-step instructions on how todevelop and implement an ESMS.The ESMS Toolkit and CaseStudies section gives: 1) tools to help develop andimplement the systems described in the Handbook; and 2) casestudies presenting two companies in the constructionindustry that implemented an ESMS.
