Environment management is about

carrying out economic activities in a

sustainable manner, so that future
generations will be able to survive in the
Planet. Consumption of natural resources
results in their depletion.
Consumption increases with increasing
population coupled with life styles that
demand increased use of materials and
energy. Where are we up to?
The biggest challenge to humans today is
GLOBAL WARMING!!!
EMISSIONS OF GREEN HOUSE GASES
(GHGs) TO AIR
CAUSE GLOBAL WARMING
There are natural emissions and human
induced emissions
The latter can be regulated to some extent,
if we manage and regulate them


CONSEQUENCES OF GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming is closely associated
with a broad spectrum of other
changes, such as increases in the
frequency of intense rainfall,
decreases in Northern Hemisphere
snow cover and Arctic sea ice,
warmer and more frequent hot days
and nights, rising sea levels, and
widespread ocean acidification.

In 1972, Governments first addressed the issues of
global environmental needs in in the UN
Conference on Human Environment held at
Stockholm
In 1992The UN Conference on Environment and
Development took Place in Rio de Janeiro. The
participating countries focused on environmental
trends and development at the national and
international levels.
The Rio convention led to formation of United
Nations Framework on Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC) and signing of the Kyoto
Protocol by 154 countries in 1992.

The Key elements of the Kyoto Protocol
1) emission-reduction targets of greenhouse
gases for each of the member countries
2) a greenhouse gas emission-trading program
3) holding future meetings to set penalties for
violators of the established targets and
regulation rules of the emission-trading
program

This calls for applying suitable controls in use of

An environmental management
system brings together the people,
policies, plans, review mechanisms,
and procedures used to manage
environmental issues at a facility or
in an organization.

Facilitates environmental compliance

Addresses environmental impacts

Broadens environmental responsibilities to
all whose work can have a significant
impact on the environment

expertise to contribute

Reduce environmental impacts
Helps maintain compliance
Reduce operating costs

The first step towards implementing
an Environment Management System
(EMS) is formulation of an
Environmental Policy. The
environmental issues that have to be
addressed and the general
approaches to be adopted in
implementing policy, include:
Continued...

reduction of waste and reduction of resource
consumption and use of energy.

prevention or minimization of polluting
releases to the environment

strategically designing, developing and
planning existing and new services and
products for optimal performance; minimising
any negative environmental impacts taking
account of physical attributes e.g. size, shape,
colour, appearance, packaging, transportation,
and environmental performance of contractors
& suppliers.

Continued
controlling the environmental effects of raw
materials and natural resources, use and
end-of-life disposal.

encouraging the protection and proliferation
of appropriate types of wildlife and
biodiversity.

Environmental Policy definition
An environmental policy is a statement
by an organization of its intentions
and principles in relation to its overall
environmental performance which
provides a framework for action and
for the setting of its environmental
objectives and targets. (ISO14001)

AMERICANS WERE BEHIND THE JAPANESE BY 20
YEARS IN ADOPTING STATISTICAL PROCESS
CONTROLS
In the 1980s IBM decided to purchase
manufactured parts from a Japanese supplier.
They set the limit of 3 defective parts per
10,000 as ACCEPTABLE QUALITY LEVEL.
With the first delivery, the Japanese supplier
enclosed a letter saying :
We Japanese have a hard time understanding
North American business practices. But the
three defective units per 10,000 have been
included and wrapped separately. Hope this
pleases

Some other considerations in developing
policy:
Coordination with other organizational
policies safety, quality
Specific local or regional conditions
Life cycle thinking
Involvement and communication with
interested parties
Work toward sustainable development
Use of EMS by suppliers and contractors
