Environmental management systems are going to emerge as prominent management systems in the coming days. Their administrative structure and management framework introduce the concrete mechanism that can be used to execute an environmental agenda in a robust way. However, these tools fall short of incorporating any definition of environmental sustainability and rely on a user defined (self-defined) version of the environmental management agenda that is not guided by any definition of sustainability. Opportunities identified for the environmental managers can support the integration of sustainability in the environmental management systems and can turn tools into strategic-environment-management-tools. Getting environmental management tools the title of strategic tool requires significant changes that must be incorporated in the planning mechanism of the
existing systems. This study promotes the TSPD and SLCM as the reliable sustainability planning platform to guide existing planning platform of EMS systems. Finally, this study demonstrates that ‗not' at the expense of, but in parallel to existing environmental management systems, how the guidance of Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development, Strategic Life Cycle Management and Templates For Sustainable Product Development, could be used to support the integration of sustainability.
