ISO 14000

ENVIRONMENTAL

MANAGEMENT

SYSTEM

We all have the right to exploit our environment if

we are responsible for its protection; we each have

the opportunity to utilize our environment as long

as we recognize our obligation to improve it for the

future of civilization.

Implementing an environmental management

system in a manner similar to that proposed by ISO

14000 will ensure our rights, our responsibilities,

our opportunities and our obligations.

Every right implies a responsibility,

every opportunity an obligation

-John D. Rockefeller Jr.

ISO Certification, Registration, and

Accreditation

When an organization says that it is ISO

14000 certified or ISO 14000 registered,

it means that a third party entity has assessed

its environmental management system

against the requirements of ISO 14001 (the

EMS

In ISO language, accreditation is a different

process. It is the procedure by which an

authoritative body gives formal recognitionthat an organization or individual is qualified

to carry out ISO 14000 certification in

specified business sectors.

it is incorrect to describe a company as ISO-

certified or ISO-registered, or to use phrases

like ISO certification, ISO certificates and

ISO registration.

The ISO itself does not assess, certify, or register

any organizations management systems.

ISO 14000 auditing and certification are carried

out independently of ISO by certification bodiesunder their own responsibility

What the system says:

Doing business as usual is unacceptable.

Doing business without a systematic management approach iseconomic doom.

Providing quality is key.

Protecting and nurturing the environment is key.

Doing it right the first time is crucial.

Getting your act together is essential.

Listening to customers and other stakeholders is absolutelynecessary.

Respecting society is mandatory.

About ISO ISO (International Organization for

Standardization) is the world's largest

developer and publisher of InternationalStandards.

ISO is a network of the national standards

institutes of 163 countries, one member per

country, with a Central Secretariat in

Geneva, Switzerland, that coordinates the

system.

ISO is a non-governmental organization that

forms a bridge between the public and private

sectors

On the one hand, many of its member institutes are

part of the governmental structure of their

countries, or are mandated by their government. On

the other hand, other members have their roots

uniquely in the private sector, having been set up by

national partnerships of industry associations.

Therefore, ISO enables a consensus to be reached

on solutions that meet both the requirements of

business and the broader needs of society

Why standards matter

Standards make an enormous and positive

contribution to most aspects of our lives.

Standards ensure desirable characteristics of

products and services such as quality,

environmental friendliness, safety, reliability,

efficiency and interchangeability - and at an

economical cost.

When products and services meet our expectations,we tend to take this for granted and be unaware of

the role of standards. However, when standards are

absent we soon notice.

When products, systems, machinery and devices

work well and safely, it is often because they meet

standards. And the organization responsible formany thousands of the standards which benefit the

world is ISO.

What standards do make the development, manufacturing and supply

of products and services more efficient, safer and

cleaner

facilitate trade between countries and make itfairer

provide governments with a technical base for

health, safety and environmental legislation, and

conformity assessment

share technological advances and good

management practice

What is EMS? A continual cycle of Planning, Implementing,

Reviewing, and Improving the processes and

action actions that an organization undertakesto meet its environmental obligations.

What is an EMS?

Systematic way of managing an organizations

environmental affairs

Based on Plan-Do-Check-Act Model (PDCA)

Focused on Continual Improvement of system

Addresses immediate and long-term impact of an

organizations products, services and processes

on the environment.

A tool to improve environmental performance

What is an EMS?

The part of the overall management

system that includes organizational

structure, planning activities,

responsibilities, practices, procedures,

processes and resources for developing,

implementing, achieving, reviewing and

maintaining the environmental policy. ISO 14001 : 1996

Systematic integration of environmental

considerations into day-to-day decisions

and practices.

The assembly of organizational elements,

business processes, and technology tools

available to people to sustain the continual

Is your organization required to comply with

environmental laws and regulations?

Are you looking for ways to improve your

environmental performance?

Is the state of your organizations environmental

affairs a significant liability?

Does a lack of time or resources prevent your

organization from managing its environmental

obligations effectively? Is the relationship between your organizations

environmental goals and other goals unclear?

Key EMS Benefits

Improved environmental performance

reduced liability

competitive advantage

improved compliance

reduced costs fewer accidents

employee involvement

improved public image

enhanced customer Trust

more favorable credit Terms

EMS An effective EMS is built on TQM concepts.

Most EMS models [Including ISO 14000] arebuilt on the PLAN, DO, ACT, CHECK[PDCA] cycle.

Applying ISO 14000 and to initiate and sustainEMS effort, top management must communicateto all employees the importance of :

Making the environment an organizational priority[Thinking of an effective environmental management asfundamental to the organizations survival]

Integrating Environmental Management throughout theOrganization.[thinking about the environment as part ofproduct/service and process development and deliveryamong other activities]

Flexible & Simple

An effective EMS is dynamic enough to

allow organization to adapt to a quickly

changing environment .

Compatibility with organization culture.

Employee awareness & Involvement.

Key Elements of EMSISO

14000 ISO 14001 is widely accepted international

standard for EMS that focuses on continualimprovement.

Companies may be asked to demonstrateconformance with ISO 14001 as a condition ofdoing business in some markets &

The standard is consistent with the key elementsfound in many EMS models, including theEuropean Unions eco management and auditscheme.

Typical Example of EMS policy

We will comply with the environmental laws &

regulations and will strive to secure fundamental

reforms that will improve our environmental

effectiveness and reduce our cost of compliance.

We will consider environmental factors and the

acquisition and use and disposal cost when

making Planning, Purchasing, and operatingDecisions.

Typical Example of EMS policy We will monitor Environmental Performance through

regular evaluation.

Manage Land Water, wild Life and forest recourses in

environmentally sensitive manner.

Use energy efficiently throughout our operations and

support the efficient use of coal, wood, & electricity.

Reuse and recycle whenever and wherever possible.

Use Environmentally preferred materials.

Clean up residual pollution from past operations in cost

effective manner.

Business Benefits of EMS

Depending on the goals set by the company

that implements it, an EMS is intended to

produce a variety of benefits, from

compliance with environmental law

reduced costs for energy, materials, and

waste

Streamlined operations

improved image among regulators,

consumers, and the ublic.

Steps in Establishing an EMS

Step 1: Lay the Groundwork. Build

understanding and support for an EMS

among the organizations managers andemployees. Clarify why one is being

developed, who is the target audience, and

what environmental impacts will be tracked


10/13

Step 2: Create an Environmental Policy.

Review the organizations current methods

for managing environmental concerns, and

where you want it to be. Perform a gap

analysis that measures the difference

between current methods and the vision.

Write the organizations environmentalpolicy statement

Step 3: Determine significant environmental

aspects, and set objectives. Environmental

aspects are activities, products, and services

that can interact with the environment.

Step 4: Evaluate alternatives. evaluate a wide

array of alternatives that can meet the

objectives set forth in step 3. Follow a

hierarchy that emphasizes reduction first,

then recycling, treatment, and disposal

Step 5: Set targets and measure success. Develop

targets for every significant environmental aspect of

the organization. Describe how you will meet a

goal, and develop ways to do so either by

adopting alternatives, or instituting operational

control procedures.

Step 6: Develop operational controls. In

some cases, you will need to implement tight

procedures to insure that activities are

controlled in ways that reduce environmental

impact. Measure the success of these

controls, and take corrective action when

necessary.
