ISO 14001 - Brag about the positives!

GGogoleski | 22 June, 2007 10:31

Most companies that implement an environmental management system have programs in place to demonstrate how they attempt to minimize negative environmental impacts. What companies often forget is that environmental programs can demonstrate true positive impacts. These types of programs can demonstrate to the surrounding community that enhancing the environment is a company objective! We have seen companies develop adjacent properties into small gardens, forests and miniature "preserves". Not only can this be an environmental positive, but this can also create a positive company impression in the minds of employees who may use such areas to walk/exercise at lunchtime or just sit and enjoy during a break.

When environmental programs like this are initiated, the result can truly be a win/win for all. This is also the type of environmental program that the marketing and sales side of the company can truly get excited about and use to a positive advantage in company promotion.

ISO 14001 implementation - worth the effort!

GGogoleski | 14 June, 2007 21:43

Many times we hear comments about all the commonalities between ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 and the expected ease of implementing an EMS because of these common threads. While it is true that such requirements as management review, corrective & preventive action, internal audits and a top level policy statement make the standards similar, it should not be assumed that implementing 14001 for a company that has a quality management system in place is a walk in the park. Just because a company may not have an inventory of hazardous waste, there are still countless ways that an organization can have an impact on its surrounding environment, even if the organization is a small office of nothing more than a few desks and computers.

Identifying all of the potential aspects and impacts of a company can be a very challenging task regardless of the product or service created. It is also the key to success in implementing an effective environmental management system.

Once these items are properly identified, a company can then go forward and implement programs that can be used to minimize any negative impacts on the environment. They may even find out that helping the environment can be a profitable venture! Reductions in waste can very often show up as cost savings in such areas as resources and utilities - and thats a bonus in any type of environment!
