Organizations develop an environmental management system (EMS) scope in order to define the boundaries of what is, and is not, included in the system. Typically, the EMS scope will include all of the organization's activities that take place on their property: those areas that are under their direct control and where they have environmental regulatory liability. The scope may also include areas that are outside of the organization's direct control, but over which they may be able to exert some influence such as encouraging their employees to use carpooling or mass transportation systems when traveling to and from work.
