Abstract
The impact of Environmental Management System (EMS) Through ISO 14001:2004 on a Gabonese Mining Company (Comilog) was assessed. Companies around the world nowadays get certified to different environmental standards and some tend to get more than environmental benefits. This study takes a closer look at a manganese company based in Moanda, Gabon. The study investigated the level of implementation of EMS through ISO 14001:2004 as well as the comparison of productivity prior and after a formal implementation of the standards.
