PROCEDURE
² Top management is responsible to establish environmental objectives on an
annual basis.
² Plant/ Department managers involve operation staff in developing
environmental objectives for improvement in environmental performance. Each
department manager is responsible to provide inputs and evaluate potential
impacts in specific functions.
² Manager makes preliminary evaluation of its environmental performance, and
enlists primary objectives.
² Progress towards the objectives/targets is reviewed at management review
meetings and communicated to operational staff via bulletin boards.

SIX KEY ELEMENTS: ISO 14000

Environmental policy

Top management shall define its organisation's environmental policy, and ensure it is
appropriate to the environmental impact of its activities, products and services.
Commitment to continuous improvement, prevention of pollution and compliance
with legislation and regulations shall be documented, implemented and maintained.
The environmental objectives and targets shall be set and reviewed.
The policy shall be communicated to all persons working for the organisation and be
made available to the public.
5

Planning

Procedures shall be established and maintained for activities, products and services
which can have significant impacts on the environment.

Procedures are required for identifying applicable legal requirements and

maintaining objectives and targets at relevant functions within the organisation,
whilst considering legal, technology options, financial, operational and business
requirements.

Programmes shall be maintained for achieving objectives and targets including

designation of responsibilities, means and time frame for achievement.

Implementation and operation

Resource with clear definition of roles, responsibilities and authority shall be

provided, documented and communicated, including management representatives
for reporting on the performance to top management.

Training needs shall be identified for personnel whose work may create significant
impact upon the environment. Procedures are required to make employees aware of
importance of conformance with policy, roles and responsibilities, emergency
preparedness and response requirements.

Activities associated with significant environmental aspects shall be planned in line

with policy, objectives and targets to ensure that they are conducted under specified
conditions.

The potential for accident and emergency situations shall be identified in order to
prevent impact on the environment that may be associated with them. A review of
emergency preparedness and response procedures shall be carried out and
periodically tested where practicable.
6

Checking and corrective action

Key characteristics of the operation which have significant impact on the

environment shall be monitored and measured on a regular basis.

Monitoring equipment shall be calibrated, maintained and recorded.

Environmental legislation and regulations shall be periodically evaluated.

Non-conformances shall be investigated and action taken by authorised responsible

persons. Corrective or preventative actions shall be taken to eliminate the causes of
actual and potential non-conformances.

Audits of the environmental management system shall be carried out at planned

intervals to determine conformance to planned arrangements.

Management review

The environmental management system shall be reviewed at planned intervals to

ensure its continuing suitability, adequacy and effectiveness.

ISO 14000 FAMILY

A series of guidance documents and standards to help organizations address
environmental issues.

14001: Environmental Management Systems

14004: EMS general guidelines
14010: Guidelines for Environmental Auditing
14011: Guidelines for Auditing of an EMS
14012: Auditing - Qualification criteria
14020: Environmental Labeling
14030: Environmental Performance Evaluation (EPE)
14040: Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA
7

14001: ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

ISO 14001 is the specification standard that is a model for an environmental
management system.

² Systematic way of managing an organization

² environmental affairs
² Based on Plan-Do-Check-Act Model (PDCA)
² Focused on Continual Improvement of System
² Addresses immediate and long-term impact of an organization
² products, services and processes on the environment.
² A tool to improve environmental performance

14004: EMS GENERAL GUIDELINES

² ISO 14004:2016 provides guidance for an organization on the establishment,
implementation, maintenance and improvement of a robust, credible and
reliable environmental management system.
² This International Standard helps an organization achieve the intended outcomes
of its environmental management system, which provides value for the
environment, the organization itself and interested parties.
² The intended outcomes of an environmental management system include: -
enhancement of environmental performance; - fulfilment of compliance
obligations; - achievement of environmental objectives.

14010 ENVIRONMENTAL AUDITING

Three standards actually cover the topic of environmental auditing. They are:

² ISO 14010 - General Principles of Environmental Auditing

² ISO 14011/1 - Audit Procedures - Part 1: Auditing of Environmental Management
Systems
² ISO 14012 - Qualification criteria for Environmental Auditors

n Other related standards are expected to be developed at a later times. For

right now, we only need to examine these three guideline standards for ISO 14001 to
gain a basic understanding of how an environmental management system (EMS) will
be audited.
8

14020: ENVIRONMENTAL LABELING

The objectives of ISO 14021 are stated to be the harmonization of the use of self-
declared environmental claims with the following anticipated benefits :
² Accurate and verifiable environmental claims that are not misleading Increased
potential for market forces to stimulate environmental improvements
² Prevention or minimization of unwarranted claims
² Reduction in marketplace confusion
² Facilitation of international trade
² Increased opportunity for consumers to make more informed choices

14030: ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION (EPE)

An internal management process that provides information to facilitate management
decisions regarding an organization environmental performance. This standard is an
excellent companion to ISO 14001:2015, which requires organisations to
demonstrate an improvement in environmental performance. These standards
provide powerful tools for organisations, giving them a means to track their progress
towards a more circular and sustainable economy.
² Environmental condition indicators, for presenting achievements in context
² Operational performance indicators, used to demonstrate change in resource
use
² 3. Management performance indicators, for showing cost savings and
improvements in training

14040: LIFE-CYCLE ASSESSMENT (LCA)

LCA can assist in
² Identifying opportunities to improve the environmental performance of products
at various points in their life cycle,
² Informing decision-makers in industry, government or non-government
organizations (e.g. for the purpose of strategic planning, priority setting, product
or process design or redesign),
² The selection of relevant indicators of environmental performance, including
measurement techniques,
² Marketing (e.g. implementing an eco-labelling scheme, making an environmental
claim, or producing an environmental product declaration).
9
