About Us

Our Vision

Sustainability through environmental management excellence.

Our Mission

Prism Environmental Management Services is a specialist environmental services provider, assuring excellence in environmental resource assessment and management. We stand in partnership with our clients, our employees, the community and the environment. Our ambition is to conserve resources, preserve natural habitats and prevent pollution, by means of sustainable utilisation of our precious natural resources.

Our Goals and Values

Navigating the complexities of environmental legislation can be an intimidating task, to say the least. To keep up with ever-changing legislation and the overlapping nature thereof in respect of Air Quality, Environmental Management, Waste- and Water management and Bio-diversity can be an obstacle for the novice. With exceptional field-expertise, command of the relevant legislative requirements and superior reporting quality, the company is recognised by clients, fellow consultants, and various Local and Provincial Authorities as a prominent service provider in our field of consulting.

Our goal is always to provide the client with outstanding service, accuracy and detailed knowledge of our sphere of consulting.

Our values encompass a holistic understanding of integrated environmental management in combination with sustainability. We operate as independent consultants, ensuring the advancement of conservation of the natural environment balanced with sustainable development. We aim to achieve this by means of a progressive and innovative approach to development and social desirability, yet delicately balancing the responsibility of environmental protection.

Who we are?

Prism EMS is a multi-disciplinary consulting firm, providing specialised, sustainable and cost effective services in the field of water- and environmental resource management. The company was established in 2005 and has grown since then to a company that comprises various branches, to cover a large client base and offer services over Southern Africa.

What sets us apart?

The one factor that differentiates Prism EMS from most other consulting firms is simply this: We provide a service that covers all spectrums of the environmental field and take the time to get to know our client on a personal level.

We can compete with larger corporate consultancies in terms of expertise, capacity and product quality. But with Prism EMS you will not be just a client; we undertake to commit to your project from inception to completion thereof.

Our in-house proficiency means that we outsource only a limited scope of specialist studies. This ensures that we can, from the onset, advise our client on all the relevant aspects to be taken into account when deciding the way forward in respect of development, prospecting and/or mining rights applications and compliance with legislation where Compliance Notices have been issued.
