Environmental management systems (EMSs), such as International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001, can be used as a tool in China by industrial park managers to improve their environmental performance. This article uses the case of the Dalian Economic and Technological Development Zone (DETDZ) to show how to establish a comprehensive environmental management system (CEMS) according to the ISO 14001 standard at the industrial park level by considering local realities. The particularly interesting feature of this case study is the use of a CEMS (in this case, ISO 14001) by the administrative group of the DETDZ to develop a more comprehensive approach to the wide range of environmental issues that they face in running the zone. In essence the goal is to address many of the issues at the level of the zone. The incentives, benefits, and barriers associated with implementing ISO 14001 are described. However, implementation of an EMS should not be thought of as the ultimate objective for an industrial park's environmental management. The next steps include encouraging further public participation and taking an integrated approach leading to an industrial ecosystem, which can realize better environmental performance at the industrial park level.
环境管理体系（EMSs），如国际标准化组织（ISO）14001标准，在中国可被工业园区管理者用作提升其环境绩效的工具。本文以大连经济技术开发区（DETDZ）为例，展示如何结合当地实际情况，依据ISO 14001标准在工业园区层面建立综合环境管理体系（CEMS）。该案例研究特别有趣的一点是，大连经济技术开发区管理部门运用综合环境管理体系（此案例中为ISO 14001），针对运营开发区过程中面临的广泛环境问题制定更全面的应对方法。本质上，目标是在开发区层面解决诸多问题。文中描述了与实施ISO 14001相关的激励因素、益处及障碍。然而，不应将环境管理体系的实施视为工业园区环境管理的最终目标。接下来的步骤包括鼓励公众进一步参与，并采取综合方法构建工业生态系统，从而在工业园区层面实现更好的环境绩效。
