Education
One of the most difficult things for businesses to overcome when attempting to improve their CSR credentials is attaining the complete ‘buy-in’ of senior management and the workforce. From an operational point of view it also makes the job of a company such as the green house harder as communicating information quickly and effectively becomes difficult.
To counter this the green house delivers a host of internal and external marketing and education solutions ranging from briefing notes to systems processes, websites and ecoPacks.
The end result of these processes is an efficient implementation of all new environmental measures and maximum exposure to stakeholders for the achievements in reaching targets.
ISO14000
ISO 14000 is a series of international standards on environmental management. It provides a framework for the development of an environmental management system and the supporting audit programme.
ISO 14001 is the corner stone standard of the ISO 14000 series. It specifies a framework of control for an Environmental Management System against which an organization can be certified by a third party.
This standard is applicable to any organization that wishes to:
- implement, maintain and improve an environmental management system
- assure itself of its conformance with its own stated environmental policy (those policy commitments of course must be made)
- demonstrate conformance
- ensure compliance with environmental laws and regulations
- seek certification of its environmental management system by an external third party organization
- make a self-determination of conformance
As a package the green house will provide clients with:
- An ISO 14001 based EMS Policy Manual
- A set of ISO 14001 Procedures
- A detailed Implementation Guide (with tasklists)
- A collection of forms and templates to help manage the compliance process
- A comprehensive audit plan/checklist
- A comprehensive ISO 14000 training and awareness presentation
