Purpose: The paper presents main principles of environmental management systems ISO 14001 and EMAS. Thanks to EMS organizations can improve theirs activity especially through environmental modernization introducing to realized technological processes. Design/methodology/approach: Implementation of EMS provides organizations many benefits: increasing the efficient use of resources; waste reducing; demonstrate a good corporate image; building awareness of environmental concern among employees; gaining a better understanding of the environmental impacts of business activities and increase profit, improving environmental performance. Findings: In this article structure of ISO 14001 and EMAS were presented. Moreover the analysis and the modernization of the oil filter casings production process were showed. Research limitations/implications: Both ISO 14001 and EMAS II application all organizational units, especially industrial enterprises. The EMS requirements make possible technological processes continuous improvement especially in environment protection sphere. Practical implications: Formalized environmental management systems ISO 14001 and EMAS help enterprises in accommodation to the growing requirements of the environment protection prescriptions. Originality/value: The only one possibility of the environment protection is implementation and continuous improvement of EMS by every organization. It can be achieved through technological processes improvement.
