Environmental Strategy in PracticeRedefining:• Who are your competitors? • How “green” is your
competition?• Who are your partners?• Who are your customers? • Through what channels do
you reach the customers?
With the environment in mind!
• What is your product?• What are your raw
materials?• Biomimicry
• What is your waste?• Money in your trash
• How sustainable are your competitive advantages?
• Etc..

Eco labels vs EMS systems
Ecolabel type I• Label of product or service
• Concrete and strict criteria
• Some labels, as the Nordic Swan limits the share of labeled products in the market
EMS system• Certification of procedures
and policies
• Self decleared goals
• No limit values regarding environmental performance
• All companies in the market can have an certified EMS system

Size of companies• SMEs produce around 70% of the total global pollution (Smith
and Kemp, 1998), 60% of the total carbon emissions (Marshall, 1998), and the sum total of SMEs’ environmental impacts outweighs the combined environmental impact of large firms (Hillary, 2000).

SME´s way to ISO 14001• The Individual approach
• hire a specialized consulting firm
• The Collective Approach• Have a help from organization, such as the federation of Industries or
Chamber of Commerce
• The Progressive Approach
• Break the certification process into three successive levels.
