Defining scope for ISO 14001 based EMS

We are small family run firm and want to get ISO 14001 certified, but a lot of the information required seems complex for us. Could you please explain what should be included in the scope statement?

Answer:

THe scope of Environmental Management System (EMS) is a simple statement on to what processes, products and services and locations your EMS is applied to. It can be as simple as "EMS of XYZ Company applies to following processes [...], services [...] and locations [...]." THis statement can be documented as a separate document or included in the Environmental Manual or any other document which you see fit.
