Organisations/companies can have a large influence on the environmental issues of the world?! Agree? In what way? What can they do?

Develop new energy efficient products

Buy environmentally friendly equipment and resources

Be more energy efficient, recycle more and improve logistic

Outphase harmful chemicals Put pressure on their suppliers Etc. Do you know if there are organisations/companies that go beyond legislation? Examples?

Public organisations? Could they do something?

Purchasing with tax money (public procurement) in Sweden ≈650 billion SEK per year!

Green Public Procurement! The large companies (like 50 000 employees), are very fond of improvisation? Agree?

There is a need for a structured way of working with environmental issues!

Environmental Managements Systems (EMS) ! ISO 14001 and EMAS

A Swedish light-version is Swedish Environmental Base (Miljödiplomering/Env Diploma)

Small companies?

What are the benefits for a company to implement an EMS?

More about that question later! ISO 14001 2017: ≈ 358 953 181 countries

EMAS 2007 ≈ 3 935 2010 ≈ 4 542 2018 ≈ 3 814

If you should design an EMS, what items, activities, etc, would you include in the system?

Initial Environmental review

Four key areas: a) Environmental aspects, both normal and abnormal conditions + assess which are significant b) Compliance Obligations (legislation, …) + assess compliance c) Existing env management practices, processes & procedures d) Evaluation of previous emergency situations and accidents, the risk for such incidents, and how to act if …

+ Four analyses/assessments stemming from the new version of ISO 14001 Internal and external issues (4.1), Interested parties (4.2), The scope (4.3) and Risk and Opportunities (6.1.1)

(more about Ini Env Rev in the two next lectures)

Suggested structure for procedure / instructions

Responsibilities Who is responsible for distributing the routine? Who receives feedback? Etc..

Implementation The actual procedure. What should be done by whom?

Monitoring, record keeping and reporting What should be measured? Record keeping by whom? What should be reported to whom by whom?

Deviations/Non-compliance/Questions Who to report to if something goes wrong? Whom to ask if anything is unclear?

Reference documents Other documents that you need to refer to From The ISO 14001:2015 Companion, by Cornell

“The best advice is NOT to write the procedure until you have done certain things first. These are: 1. Really understand what it is you need to achieve. Understand the various requirements and demands (legal requirements, requirements of the standard, corporate standards, etc.). 2. Understand how things happen currently, and why. 3. Discuss with people whether there are any problems in their areas, and understand why these problems exist. 4. Bounce around some ideas with the people who do the work to find a solution. Don’t have one idea and expect everyone to agree from the start – be open to other ways of solving the problem. (Perhaps some decisions need to be made (DS comment)). 5. If the procedure requires a change in practice that is complex or affects many parts of the business, try a “pilot” or trial to test if the change you want to make will work, and then use it to demonstrate to others that it is verified and what the benefits are. 6. Once you and the people who will make the changes are happy with the procedure, then you can write it down.”

Measures Pre-audit Certification Why implement an EMS? From the company's / organization's own point of view: • Attract customers / capture market / avoid losing shares (more pronounced if certified) • Reduce the cost of waste, electricity, heat, materials, ... • Reduce the risk of accidents, protect the brand, etc. • Compliance with environmental laws, meet demands from authorities • Better relationship with authorities, lower costs for supervision? (more pronounced if certified) • Improve recruitment, employees more proud • Creates a general structure for procedures that can diffuse to other areas? • The whole organisation will “on board” • The commitment to work with environmental issues will be more long-lasting? (more pronounced if certified) • A clear goal – to get the certificate! (more pronounced if certified) • You will get a second opinion (from the certifying body)

EMAS ?

• EC proposes, MEP and the Council decides • EMAS regulation - each nation should have a Competent body In Sweden, the Swedish EPA Organisation common to ISO 14001 and EMAS

SWEDAC accredits Certification bodies like Lloyds, DNV, BVQI, Rise, … thus these become accredited certification bodies

(In Swedish ackrediterat certifieringsorgan eller ”certifierare”) Swedac has accredited thirteen companies to be certification bodies for ISO14001. They can call themselves accredited certification body, or more simply "certifiers".
