How does NIMONIK work?

NIMONIK has common topics (such as air emissions and hazardous waste) and subtopics (such as storage, approvals and disposal) which address environmental legal issues. In NIMONIK, the text of each legal concern describes the requirement in plain language and provides links to the current legislation, found within the database.

Our partners at ÉEM can work with your organization to map out your environmental aspects and impacts. Your organization then has a reliable link between your activities and the legislation; allowing NIMONIK to serve as an authoritative information source on legal requirements.

NIMONIK is the best automated tool to meet ISO 14001 requirements for the management of legal requirements (element 4.3.2 of ISO 14001:2004).

How did the NIMONIK concept originate?

Since 1993, we have observed how organizations handle increasing environmental requirements.

The majority, even those that are ISO 14001 certified, tend to under-perform in this area; pulling resources away from other tasks, which are more central to the business. Why? Because legislation is complex, voluminous and ever changing.

NIMONIK assembles all the applicable requirements in one database with continuous updates, comprehensible guidance and customization to organizational activity. NIMONIK will improve the efficiency of your organization.

The NIMONIK difference

NIMONIK provides decision-makers with the information necessary to understand, decide and execute tasks that arise from legal requirements. Most other solutions provide just the legislation or just the updates.

NIMONIK enables organizations to take this process further, by linking legal requirements to specific activities or environmental aspects. Our system is hosted on separate servers and we can provide methods to integrate with your existing management tools.

The meaning of “NIMONIK”

NIMONIK is simply the phonetic spelling of mnemonic – “A device, such as a formula or rhyme, used as an aid in remembering”. This system helps you remember the basics of environmental compliance – hence “NIMONIK”.
