Implement ISO 14001 To Reduce Carbon Footprint

Around the world people and their governments are concerned about climate change and global warming. During 2009 there is a series of international meetings preparing for the next climate change agreement to be hammered out in Copenhagen in 2010. This will be a very critical meeting because the planet is fast approaching a “tipping point” when it will be too late to pull back from very serious climate change.

So what does this mean to business and particularly small business? Small business is the backbone of economies around the world and cumulatively is responsible for an enormous amount of carbon emissions even when they are small and “just office or home based”. In fact office based business is responsible for 30% of greenhouse gas emissions. This is far more than transport which is the most obvious target for concern.

When a small business systematically addresses all its activities and looks at the carbon and other environmental impacts of each, the business can remove a large amount of waste and preventing waste is what also saves money. If you can reduce your electrical waste by 20% you will reduce both your greenhouse emissions and your power bill by that same 20%. And electrical consumption is just area that can be looked at.

If this is to work effectively the business will need to work with all employees to change the culture and raise awareness of green issues. Commencing some green training for all personnel helps them to understand and accept the reasons for the changes and know what is expected of them.

Many people feel that they want to go beyond carbon emissions because they realise that there is more to the environment than just emissions. In this case the business may want to take their planning a step further and implement and environmental management system. This works even better when an effective feedback loop is included so that when mistakes of any kind are made, the business looks at the root cause or real reason that they were able to happen then remove that cause.

Many businesses take their environmental management system a step further and have it independently audited to ISO 14001 which is the international standard for environmental management. It is important to keep the system simple and low in paper because otherwise it is unlikely to work effectively in the long term.

A simple and effective environmental management system can save a small business for more than the cost of implementing and maintaining it and it also saves time and money. Reducing your carbon footprint saves money but a full management system saves even more and achieves an internationally recognised green certification, ISO 14001.

Introduction To ISO 14001 Standards

An environmental policy should reflect the vision, intentions, philosophy, values, and beliefs of the organization with respect to the environment. Top management should put a great deal of thought and imagination into developing and crafting the policy, since it will become the code of conduct by which the organization lives and operates. The policy should be practical and inspirational, providing a framework and a compass for business and technical decisions and actions, and at the same time motivate and encourage all personnel in the organization to achieve excellence in environmental performance.

The ISO 14001 Standard specifies several requirements for the development, content, intent, and implementation of an environmental policy:

1. Top management is responsible and accountable for defining the organization’s environmental policy. They must, as a minimum, carefully review, approve, and commit to abiding by an environmental policy that has been developed for their consideration.

2. The policy must completely cover the organization’s (i.e., facility’s) range of operations, including where appropriate, raw material acquisition, transportation, packaging, and shipping of product,as well as all on-site operations that may impact the environment.

3. The policy must contain three core commitments that are ISO 14001 absolute requirements:

(i) A commitment to continual improvement of the EMS and environmental performance.
(ii) A commitment to the prevention of pollution (i.e., this means taking all reasonable steps to eliminate, or at least minimize, pollution).
(iii) A commitment to comply with relevant environmental legislation and regulations, and with other requirements to which the organization subscribes. This means the organization commits to meet local, regional, and national legislated environmental standards.

4. The policy must give direction and a framework for progress through new environmental objectives and targets that will be set during the course of implementing and maintaining the EMS.

5. The policy must be documented, and it must be implemented through the day-to-day functioning of the EMS.

6. The policy must be maintained, meaning kept up to date and relevant to current operations and conditions.

7. The policy must be communicated to all employees. This implies active, intentional efforts by the organization, led by top management, to ensure all employees know about, understand, and apply the principles, ideas, and commitments in the policy.

8. The policy must be made available to the public, i.e., it must be accessible to all members of the public who wish to see it.

In addition to the essential requirements for an environmental policy, other considerations that may be incorporated into the policy include:

Principles of sustainable development, resource renewal, and preservation • of biological diversity

A commitment to use the most effective pollution abatement technology and • equipment, consistent with economic viability of the business (i.e., BEAT – Best Economically Achievable Technology)

Use of environmental performance indicators to quantitatively monitor • progress

Life cycle thinking – consideration of ‘cradle to grave’ impacts of a • product, which would require the organization to assess cumulative environmental impacts from all stages, from design of the product; acquisition of raw materials; processing to finished product; packaging; shipment; end-use; and ultimate re-use, recycle, or disposal.

For all components of this element of the Standard to be brought to fruition, it is essential that there is clear allocation of responsibilities for developing, approving, communicating, disseminating, implementing, maintaining, and when necessary, revising the environmental policy.

Although environmental policy is the first element of ISO 14001, it may be prudent for an organization to defer finalization of the wording of their policy until work has been done to identify the scope of environmental impacts from the operation, and other planning and preliminary preparation for the EMS has been done. This will help to ensure the policy is authentic and appropriate for the organization’s purpose.

Global Warming & ISO 14001 Standards

It is not difficult to become a believer in global warming. According to the U.S. National Climatic Data Center 2001 was the second warmest year on record and it was the 23rd consecutive year of above normal temperatures. Perhaps most troubling is the fact that the rate of temperature increase is accelerating. Add to this the data just released from insurer Munich Re stating that deaths from natural disasters were more than double in 2001 versus 2000 and insured losses were up more than 50%.UNEP estimates that the extra economic costs of disasters attributable to global warming are running at more than $300 billion annually.

Some 180 countries are proceeding toward an expected ratification of the Kyoto Protocol by the end of this year. Of the six gases it will control CO2 is by far the largest contributing nearly 90% of the global warming impact. The primary source of CO2 is the burning of fossil fuels. Therefore the focus on energy will continue to increase.

Throughout the world different methods are being used to encourage reduced energy use. Japan has enacted the Energy Conservation Law in 1999 mandating huge efficiency improvements by 2004 for nearly all air conditioning products. The U.S. has revised ASHRAE Standard 90.1 for buildings to raise the minimum COP level for centrifugal chillers from the current value of 5.2 to 6.1 effective in October 2001. DOE and Green Seal have revised their recommended efficiency levels to an even higher level of 6.27.

Some countries use laws. Others use codes and standards. An increasing number of countries are using environmental costing which increases the price of energy thereby increasing the financial attractiveness of high efficiency products. European countries have been using such “carbon taxes” for more than a decade. However a rapidly growing trend in developing countries is the reduction of subsidies to energy industries “so prices more accurately reflect environmental impacts” according to OECD’s Environmental Strategy for the First Decade of the 21st Century.

China has shown leadership by reducing subsidies to the coal industry from $24.5 billion in 1990 to $10 billion in 1996 resulting in 7% emissions reduction while seeing a solid economic growth of 36%! China is now moving aggressively into environmental costing with the just announced (1/13/2002) 5-year environmental plan that commits 700 billion yuan ($84 billion) to help protect the environment. The government will provide the fist 65 billion yuan to initiate the project but will apply the “polluter pays” principle for the rest. The “environmental protection authorities will collect funds from the pollution-producing companies”. The impact on the price of energy is not known at this time. However it is clear that the addition of environmental costing will increase energy prices. According to a European Research Commission Report of July 2001 “The cost of producing electricity from coal or oil would double if costs such as damage to the environment and health were taken into account”.

The global movement to high efficiency is accelerating just like the rate of temperature increase. But this is not all that is changing. This second environmental threat of global warming is making it clear that we need to give combined consideration to ozone depletion and global warming. But more important is the need to focus on the real issue which is the total environmental impact not address each individual environmental threat in isolation. This includes the concept of environmental risk exposure, which recognizes that there are other environmental threats that are less well understood today. However, there are “no regrets” decisions we can make today (such as minimum refrigerant charge, minimum atmospheric life refrigerants, etc.) to minimize these risks.

Combined consideration would place more emphasis on reducing the use of CFCs, which are still being produced in developing countries until 2010 in accordance with the Montreal Protocol. Little attention is being given the large contribution to global warming from CFCs. Actions which cause confusion and delay the phaseout of CFCs cause increased environmental damage rather than lessening the environmental impact.

The other rapidly changing factor in the HVAC industry is the shift to becoming a hermetic industry, where refrigerant is contained throughout the life of a chiller and recycled for further use when the chiller is replaced. This simple understanding that “if it doesn’t get into the environment it does no harm” is a powerful argument, which will lead to the continued use of the most efficient refrigerants in such closed hermetic applications as chillers. In just 15 years annual refrigerants emissions from chillers have been reduced from 25% to well below 1% today. This defines a whole different world than that which existed when the Montreal Protocol was crafted some 15 years ago.

But perhaps the most important change coming to our industry is the realization that there are no new or “perfect” refrigerants waiting to be discovered. There are eight elements that can be combined for use in a vapor compression cycle. All feasible combinations of these eight have been evaluated. The reality is “what we have now is all there is”.

This recognition is why we are now seeing a shift from the search for a perfect refrigerant to a search for the right refrigerant(s) for the right application. Said another way, the highest efficiency refrigerants for the lowest emissions applications. Many in our industry call this “Responsible Use”.

Demographers now project that, in the near future, more people are going to live in cities than in rural areas, and this will be the first time in the history of the world that this has been the case. As a result, while there are many different levels of society and business where global warming needs to be dealt with, cities are going to take an ever expanding role. It’s easy for local governments to pass the buck to state, provincial, or national governments, but this isn’t a sustainable practice. If we’re going to successfully fend off the apocalyptic-scale global warming that many scientists now predict, cities are going to have to take the lead. As a start, here are some basic things that municipal governments can do.

Green roofs: If you fly over any major metropolitan area, you’ll likely see a few patches of green where there are parks or tree-lined streets, but for the most part you will see nothing but bare rooftops dominating the landscape. When you think about it, that’s a lot of space that is simply going to waste. In the city of the future, we’re going to increasingly put all this excess space to use for green purposes. There are a few things we can do up there, including:

• Having solar and wind power stations on roof tops can help make buildings and cities in general cleaner and more energy efficient.

• Rooftop gardens can help residents grow their own produce rather than having to buy from energy-inefficient sources.

• Rooftop trees and greenhouses help balance out deforestation while cleansing smog-filled urban atmospheres.

Expanded public transit: When it comes to moving people around, the private automobile is the most energy-inefficient vehicle ever created. Things like buses and trains are not without emissions, but they have a much lower pollution-per-person ratio. Many cities throughout the developed world are decades behind in this respect and need to catch up fast in order to do their part. We need more rail-based transit systems, and many cities would do well to expand their bus networks.

Pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure: In many cities, it’s a sad state of affairs for pedestrians. If you want to travel on foot, you too often have to deal with landscapes that make walking very difficult, not to mention the culture of motorists who drive fast and aggressively and are not used to sharing the road. For a more sustainable future, we need more pedestrian-friendly landscapes, and it also doesn’t hurt to encourage people to take their bicycles.

Better recycling programs: We have come a long way in the realm of recycling, but too many cities are still stuck in the 90s with their recycling technology. We now have the ability to recycle a much broader spectrum of materials, including plastic bags and soiled containers, but many cities haven’t taken the steps necessary to implement these technologies. This investment, which is relatively small in the big picture, can have hugely positive effects in the long run.

Fuel-efficient fleets: Most cities rely on large fleets of vehicles to provide their basic services. From buses, to sanitary trucks, to road maintenance equipment, all of these vehicles can be made more efficient with new technology. Of course, it costs a lot of money to replace these vehicles, but all vehicles do need to be replaced with newer models sooner or later, and cities should use these opportunities to make their investments more efficient, rather than purchasing the same old polluting vehicles.

As individuals, each of us can contribute to the solution. As a start, we can choose to drive vehicles that are more fuel-efficient. We can plant more trees. We can recycle where practicable. We can take stock of our energy consumption practices and try to reduce them by some factor.

But, what steps can your organization take to help? The answers are varied, depending upon the size of the organization and the related environmental aspects and impacts. But no matter how simple or complex the business, each can benefit from the implementation of a management system based on ISO 14001:2004. This international standard has as its focus the prevention of pollution, accomplished by a teamwork approach to identifying those aspects of the organization’s processes that have the potential for harming the environment and the development of ways to reduce or prevent this harm. In the process, many organizations have found ways to reduce costs by elimination of scrap, changes to their waste disposal processes or reduced use of natural resources. It is the application of the system approach that has proven to be successful. And, once the system is in place, it is logical and beneficial to have that system certified and registered. This provides added assurance that the management system remains effective and also provides public recognition to numerous stakeholders that your organization is committed to the prevention of pollution.

Internal Audit In ISO 9001:2008 Standards

ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization. ISO is a non governmental organization based in Geneva Switzerland which promulgates worldwide commercial and industrial standards. TheISO 9000 is a family of standards set for quality management systems. If a company has the ISO 9001: 2008 certificate, they are said to be ISO 9001:2008 compliant and would have followed a formal procedure of training and auditing to get the certificate.

Courses usually take place in a classroom setting, but some can be conducted online, like the course provided by the Telecom Quality Management System. In general, courses cover customer satisfaction, quality control, quality assurance and ensuring supplier quality. Courses often take the form of lectures and case studies to enable students to understand international standards and follow processes and procedures. Some courses train students on ISO auditing procedures, ISO quality management techniques and ISO certification. The American Society for Quality provides a program which leads to certification.

Companies that produce products, services or software can use ISO 9001 processes to improve their business operations to ensure that the products they produce are of the highest quality. Candidates trained in ISO 9001 standards are able to identify problems, create solutions and therefore implement good quality management practices. Candidates are also able to examine work flow, eliminate waste and maximize performance and effectiveness, ultimately helping to improve operations within the company.

Effective ISO 9001:2008 training prepares students to deal with the issues that can arise due to non conformance with standards. Such issues may include manufacturing errors. The development of quality control mechanisms according to the standards helps to guard against the risk of damaged products being shipped to customers.

Integrating Management Systems Within The ISO Standards

Today’s free market economies increasingly encourage diverse sources of supply and provide opportunities for expanding markets. Fair competition needs to be based on identifiable, clearly defined common references that are recognised from one country to the next. A standard, internationally recognised, developed by consensus among trading partners, serves as the language of trade. The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) has developed around 8?700, mostly technical related standards on this basis. Standards Series such as ISO 9000, ISO 14000 and what is to be known as ISO 18000 and ISO 26000 are Management related. These standards contain generic guidelines for Management Systems in the area of Quality, Environment, Occupational Health & Safety and Human Resources.

ISO is a word derived from the Greek isos, meaning “equal”. ISO 9000 Standards are developed and updated by the International Organisation for Standardisation which has around 150 member bodies. A member body of ISO is the national body “most representative of standardisation in its country”.(eg. Germany – DIN, USA – ANSI, Australia – SAA).
More than 50 countries, as well as the European Community have adopted ISO 9000 which is recognised internationally as a benchmark for measuring quality in a trade context. Since its first issue in 1987, approximately 430?000 companies have been using ISO 9000. Being a standard coming from an organisation that is usually involved in the development of technical standards, ISO 9000 is often regarded as a document that belongs in the hands of a technician exposed to production line quality control. At a closer look, however, ISO 9000 Standard Series provide guidance in the development and application of Management Systems as well as Quality Control in Manufacturing and Administration.

ISO has been developing a number of Management System Guidelines for various aspects of business. The most recent are the ISO 14000 Environmental Management System Guidelines. This is an international standard that will affect business in the near future. ISO 14000 has been designed to integrate with ISO 9000. However, apart from international standards there are local standards a company has to comply with. To remain compliant with local standards, further manuals and/or procedures are required (eg. lifting procedure in a warehouse to satisfy Work Safety requirements). A company may have several Manuals describing its Management Systems (eg. Human Resources, Quality, Security, Health/Safety, Finances). An overall link between the systems is often missing which makes the monitoring and the assessment of effectiveness difficult. Double handling of information, contradicting instructions, high maintenance costs, administrative excess and lack of overall transparency are common results.
ISO 9000 Standard Series for Quality (of) Management Systems provide generic guidance for the development of an overall Management System, ISO 14000 provides guidance for Environmental Management, etc. Transparency and monitoring of all business activities can be achieved by integrating all systems into one.
Complaints that ISO 9000 is paralysing operations and, that it does not reflect reality are usually a result of not clearly understanding how the standard can be properly structured to address the needs of a company. ISO 9000 can be structured by focusing on “best practice” process rather than the standard, by fitting the standard to the process and not the process to the standard. Having recognised this, ISO has been working on a new structure for ISO 9000, called “Vision 2000?, taking a process orientated approach to ensure that “best practice” as well as several standards can be addressed within one system. Focusing on process allows the development of a practical “working document”, providing an effective management tool. Having learned from the past, the trend to Process Orientated Management Systems started about three years ago in Europe and is finding increasing approval from certification bodies.Every company has its own culture and key individuals.
The business environment influences processes in certain ways (eg. employee market, laws, infrastructure, client, etc.)
To ensure competitiveness a company needs to ensure adequate flexibility in their system to effectively respond to changes in the business environment.
An effective system is a lean system that incorporates all necessary functions, controls of activities and “best practice” without being caught up in detail.
An effective system must also be flexible enough to enable the proper controls on outsourcing and sub-contracting of activities (eg. production, administration, service, etc.)

ISO 9001 Standards Training DVD

In our business we often need to describe our policy and practice regarding quality of service, responsibility towards environment and employees health to our clients. There are three set standards i.e. ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 accepted globally.

ISO 9001 is the internationally recognised Quality Management Standard for all types of organisations. It’s all about managing your processes and continually improving the way you do things. It doesn’t require you to change any of your operating procedures or do anything that isn’t good practice. It simply asks you to “Say what you do, and do what you say”.

ISO 9001 is by far the world’s most established quality framework, currently being used by over ¾ million organizations in 161 countries, and sets the standard not only for quality management systems, but management systems in general.

Having ISO 9001 certification demonstrates that your organisation is well managed, knows where it is going and has a plan to get there. Also, having a plan means you are far more likely to succeed.

Certification to the ISO 14001 Standard demonstrates your ‘Green’ credentials to the world at large and your customers in particular. It gives them the confidence to know that behind the certificate there is an organisation that is aware of its environmental responsibilities and is doing everything it can to minimise any adverse impact.

Why Is ISO 9001 Standards Important?

Industrialization has completely gone under a drastic change with the growling levels of development. With the advancement in technology, there is huge competition between major players. Thus, to stand up with such high competition and developments, all sectors must produce apt services and products according to the needs of the consumers.

This could be just that the quality management system intends continual development in the company beginning from the purchasing department, design, marketing, production, and various other departments in order to provide the best of services and products, which is harmless to both the consumers as well as the environment.

To maintain the quality standards, one needs to get International Organization for Standards (ISO) that symbolizes the quality management standard at international standards. For every company, which deals in facilitating any type of services and goods, it is very important to get certified from ISO 9001:2008.

ISO 9000 is a group of standards for the quality management system and is managed or administered by the certification and accreditation bodies. Few of the requirements in the ISO 9001, one of the standards from the group or family of ISO 9000 include:

A set of methods, which covers all the main and essential processes in the industry
Monitoring each and every process to make sure that it is effective
Maintaining adequate records
Checking all outputs for any kind of defects with corrective and appropriate action where required
Regularly reviewing individual procedures and quality system as well for its effectiveness
Last but not the least, facilitating continual improvement

An organization or company, which has been autonomously certified and audited to be in conformity with the ISO 9001:2008, might publicly state that it is certified with International Organization for Standards 9001:2008 or ISO 9001:2008 registered. Nevertheless, certification with ISO 9001:2008 standards does not ensure conformity and thus the quality of end services and products, to a certain extent certifies that reliable and dependable business procedures are being applied.

Besides, to get the ISO 9001:2008 certifications, one is required to accomplish various obligations of quality control. Few of the vital clauses that must be put up to avail the ISO 9001:2008 include knowledge, range, expressions, identifications, resource management, conscientiousness, analysis, product recognition and measurement. To avail the international standards for organization 9001 certificates, one can easily get them from several certificate providers.

The providers provide the certificate once they have carefully analyzed the production and various other production departments that include quality control standards. In addition, ISO 9001:2008 is offered only when the parent company is pleased and convinced with the output. Hence, for those individuals or businesses that are looking forward to seek ISO 9001:2008 certificates, they must make sure that they fulfill all the required industrial norms.

The practice of ISO 9001:2008 for successful operation and improved customer contentment shows the way to retention of the services and goods for a longer period. With the application of ISO 9001:2008, one can also experience decreased audits and improved marketing. ISO 9001:2008 assists in endorsing international deals, revenue that directs to worker enthusiasm and self-esteem inoculation of types.
