Brief history of environmental management systems[edit]
The concept of an environmental management system evolved in the early nineties and its origin can be traced back to 1972, when the United Nations organized a Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) was launched (Corbett & Kirsch, 2001). These early initiatives led to the establishment of the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) and the adoption of the Montreal Protocol and Basel Convention.
In 1992, the first Earth Summit was held in Rio-de-Janeiro, and served to generate a global commitment to the environment. In the same year, BSI Group published the world's first environmental management systems standard, BS 7750.[1] This supplied the template for the development of the ISO 14000 series in 1996, by the International Organization for Standardization, which has representation from committees all over the world (ISO) (Clements 1996, Brorson & Larsson, 1999). As of 2010, ISO 14001 is now used by at least 223 149 organizations in 159 countries and economies.[2]

All wrong.  dating this stuff in both paras from the early nineties, when the chemical industries' RCMS started in 1985, means that the brief history is plain wrong
http://www.icca-chem.org/en/Home/Responsible-care/ from 1985
If someone is capable of writing a brief history of EMSs, by all means do so, but in the meantime let's not have WP so awfully, awfully wrong.
Deletion re-made

thread_title:  brief history is wrong.  In full. 

message: The three things listed under this section do not include the basic idea of reducing environmental impacts, which should be first on the list of the objectives of continual improvement- e.g.
"EMS Under ISO 14001
An EMS encourages a company to continuously improve its environmental performance"http://www.epa.gov/ems/
As the section stands, it's hard to modify as the author/source has clearly got it wrong- the three things mentioned are (possibly) additional objectives compared with ISO9000, because it's more usual for a quality system to cover the whole business.  Any objections to deleting it, or does anyone want to edit it to better match the facts?
