The identification of environmental aspects is an essential premise for implementation of EMS in a production company, but not a sufficient one. In order to effectively reduce negative environmental impacts, first it is necessary to undertake a thorough examination of given environmental aspects. For this purpose, several methods can be used. In this article, 3 such methods are described in detail, namely the method of Total pair comparison, the Rank method and the Saaty method. A properly prepared classification of all involved environmental aspects, evaluated by their importance can be considered a first step for successful environmental pollution reduction or elimination. In order to determine and quantify which environmental aspects have the highest priority, the Pareto analysis and Lorenz curve method can be used.
