| iso 14000 series of standards: ISO 14000 Answer Book Dennis R. Sasseville, W. Gary Wilson, Robert W. Lawson, 1997-05-23 As the global marketplace imposes increasing demands on companies to minimize the environmental impact of their products, it is becoming of utmost importance that organizations integrate a sound environmental management system (EMS) into their overall business structure. Crucial to this initiative is ISO 14000, regarded as the most far-reaching series of quality management standards released to date. In the ISO 14000 Answer Book, three experts in the field explain and clarify the numerous intricacies and unique requirements of ISO 14000 by providing quick and reliable answers to commonly asked questions. Intended to organize and restructure a company's environmental systems to foster continuous improvement, ISO 14000 offers various benefits —reduced regulatory oversight, increased management efficiencies, easing of command and control requirements —to organizations that comply with its guidelines. Though compliance and subsequent certification are not mandatory, lack of certification can mean the potential loss of market share —both here and abroad —to corporations that have embraced the new management standards. Written and structured to help you understand the implications of ISO 14000 international environmental management standards on your business, this concise and user-friendly reference addresses 250 crucial questions about ISO 14000 and ISO 14001, a specific standard in the series.

| iso 14000 series of standards: Environmental Marketing William Winston, Alma T Mintu-Wimsatt, 2013-04-03 Environmental Marketing: Strategies, Practice, Theory, and Research is a timely resource for the 1990s. It examines a broad range of issues that affect environmental behavior while providing materials and guidance to marketing decisionmakers. It will guide your organization toward a decidedly “green” marketing movement, toward marketing concepts and tools that not only serve your organization's objectives but preserve and protect the environment as well.Environmental Marketing clearly defines the potential roles of organizations, consumers, and governments and examines how these groups impact environmental factors through the marketing process. The book helps you understand alternative perspectives to green marketing issues and, in turn, enables you to make clearer, more conscious decisions toward improving your environmental marketing performance.This resourceful text begins by defining the concept of environmental or “green” marketing and how the idea of a healthy planet and successful marketing strategies can co-exist. It discusses the consumer's behavior toward environmental products and how marketers can effectively educate them, the guidelines involved in doing so, and the consequences of failing to do so. The marketer's position on environmental changes in industry is examined along with alternatives for striking a balance between marketing objectives and environmental concerns. Finally, the book discusses the global response to environmental marketing and where multi-national organizations belong within this balance.Environmental Marketing is a book for all managers involved in decisions impacting the environment. It is also of great interest to public policymakers and academics who wish for quick insight into environmental marketing issues. |

| iso 14000 series of standards: Activity-Based Cost and Environmental Management Jan Emblemsvåg, Bert Bras, 2012-12-06 It is clear that our environment is changing, and not for the better. Companies cannot ignore environmental issues anymore. Public awareness is growing, legislation is tightening, and demand for ISO 14000 compliance is rising. For many, however, the field of environmental management (including ISO 14000) is full of unfamiliar terms, high learning curves, unproductive approaches, much frustration, and often little action. If environmental management is to become widely accepted and self-motivated in industry, it must connect to the basic motivators for business: increased competitiveness and profitability. Activity-Based Cost And Environmental Management: A Different Approach to the ISO 14000 Compliance demonstrates how environmental assessment and management can be performed based upon familiar principles: cost accounting and cost management. Specifically, this book describes how the well-established Activity-Based Costing and Management principles can be extended with non-monetary environmental dimensions. The result is a single, integrated framework called Activity-Based Cost and Environmental Management that provides the tools and abilities to do both environmental management and cost management in an integrated manner and according to modern management principles. This integration of economic and environmental dimensions based upon familiar cost accounting and management principles makes it easier for decision-makers to not only include the environment in their decision-making, but also to identify, rank and prioritize opportunities for win-win situations where competitiveness is increased and environmental impact reduced at the same time. In this book, the basic concepts of Activity-Based Cost and Environmental Management are described, as well as how to make your own integrated Activity-Based Cost and Environmental Management implementations and how to get the most out of them using uncertainty distributions, Monte Carlo simulations, and sensitivity charts. Among others, the book includes chapters on environmental management and Activity-Based Costing, as well as several real-life case studies from companies for which the authors implemented Activity-Based Cost and Environmental Management systems. |

| iso 14000 series of standards: Management Systems Standards Pavel Castka, Charles J. Corbett, 2015 Management systems standards have become ubiquitous, adopted by millions of organizations around the world. The ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 quality and environmental management systems standards are the most well-known, but standards exist or are emerging for many other aspects of management too. Such a widespread phenomenon invites many questions. Key among those are why organizations adopt these standards, what effect they have on organizations, and how the standards themselves are managed. Although the literature investigating these standards is vast, it is scattered across many disciplines, and largely disjointed. This monograph provides a comprehensive overview of the empirical research on ISO 9000, ISO 14000, and other management standards, revolving around the three key questions above. |

Willig, 1997-02-20 Moving Ahead with ISO 14000 addresses environmental qualitymanagement standards from the business manager's point of view. Itexamines the costs and benefits of conformance in terms ofcompetitiveness, market share, and return on investment. Numerouscase studies describe how other companies are responding to the newstandards and help companies benchmark how close their ownoperations are to conformance. Moving Ahead with ISO 14000 also helps business managers answer thefollowing questions: * How are businesses around the world responding to ISO 14000? * Should our firm bother to seek ISO 14000 registration? * What are the business benefits of ISO 14000? * What does it take to comply with ISO 14000? * Does ISO matter to our customers? * Will these new standards help improve operations or bog them downin paperwork? * Can a company adhere to the new standards and develop acompetitive advantage at the same time? * Should we self-certify? * Can we integrate ISO 14000 with our current environmentalmanagement policies and resources? With the release of the final series of international environmentalquality management standards, thousands of companies worldwide arepoised to jump onto the ISO 14000 bandwagon. But responsiblemanagers need to answer a number of serious questions beforeinvesting in and launching such a major undertaking: What does ittake to conform with ISO 14000? Will the benefits justify thecosts? Does ISO 14000 conformance matter to our customers? Will ithelp increase our market share? In Moving Ahead with ISO 14000 more than 30 leading environmentalmanagement authorities answer these questions and many more with akeen eye on business performance relative to the global goal ofsustainability. These experts offer timely insights, case studiesof leading-edge companies, and essential guidance to help companiesensure that improvements in environmental performance areaccompanied by enhanced trade opportunities.
