In 2024, APTIM developed an environmental management system (EMS) manual for a confidential retailer that centralized environmental compliance resources and responsibilities.
To address the complexity of environmental compliance across multiple California locations, APTIM developed a comprehensive EMS manual for a retailer, tailored to the client’s operations. The manual consolidated key environmental topics, including regulated waste; air and water quality; and fat, oil, and grease (FOG) management, into one centralized reference.
