1、 ISO14001 is the code of environmental management system
ISO14001 series standards are environmental management system standards formulated by standardization organizations
It is formulated according to the needs of economic and trade development and in line with the development of environmental protection
ISO14001 is a series of environmental management standards formulated by the 207th Technical Conference (TC207) of the organization for Standardization (ISO) since 1993
It includes the focus of research and practice in the field of environmental management, such as environmental management system (EMS), environmental management system audit (EA), environmental labeling (EL), life cycle assessment (LCA), environmental performance evaluation (EPE), terms and definitions (T & amp; d), and provides unified and consistent environmental management system Product standards and strict and standardized examination and approval methods
The environmental management system is an integral part of the overall management system, including the organizational structure, planning, activities, responsibilities, operating practices, procedures, processes and resources required for the formulation, implementation, realization, review and maintenance of environmental policies
II
Background of ISO14001 environmental recognition
With the public hazards in some developed countries in the middle of this century, mankind began to realize the emergence and seriousness of environmental problems
The emergence of environmental pollution and public hazards makes people gradually realize from the process of pollution control that in order to effectively protect the environment, human society must strengthen the management of its own economic development behavior
Therefore, they have formulated various laws, regulations and environmental standards, and tried to improve the environment by forcing enterprises to implement these laws, regulations and standards by means such as
Under this general trend of environmental management, considering the inconsistency of environmental management tools and corresponding standards adopted by countries, regions and organizations, it may create new & ldquo; Protectionism & rdquo; And technical barriers, so as to have an impact on trade
The organization for Standardization (ISO) recognizes its responsibilities and opportunities
In response to the call of the United Nations for the implementation of sustainable development, ISO / TC207 Environmental Management Technology Association was established in June 1993 to formally carry out the formulation of environmental management standards
It is expected to standardize the voluntary environmental management activities of enterprises, social organizations and other organizations through the standardization of environmental management tools, Promote the improvement of organizational environmental performance and support sustainable development and environmental protection
III
significance of ISO14001 environmental recognition
The main driving force for enterprises to implement ISO14001 recognition is the pressure from the market, which comes from market competition
China's foreign trade loss in 1995 was as high as 200 billion yuan because it did not meet the environmental protection requirements or standards of relevant countries
In trade, there are more and more requirements for environmental protection standards, including ISO14001 book
Once you obtain ISO14001 book, you will get a green pass for trade
At the same time, obtaining ISO14001 book can improve the corporate image, reduce environmental risks, and obtain certain advantages in market competition
Large enterprise groups such as Ford, Chrysler, general motors and Squibb in the United States and large enterprise groups such as Panasonic, Sanyo, Canon and sharp in Japan require their local manufacturers to pass ISO14001 certification
In China, Shanghai Baoshan Iron and steel company, Shanghai Volkswagen, Panasonic group, Sanyo Group, Kelon Group, Haier Group, Jialing Industrial Group, Konka Group and other industrial groups have also passed the ISO14001 recognition
The implementation of ISO14001 environmental management system in enterprises can produce the following functions:
I
It can enable enterprises to fundamentally prevent pollution
Effectively control the pollution sources in the activities, realize the discharge of pollutants up to the standard and reduce the impact on the environment
Improve the environmental performance of products and reduce the impact of products on the environment during manufacturing or use
Technology and materials reduce the impact on the environment in the production process
Transform or update the equipment to reduce the impact on the environment
Pay attention to the classification, treatment and recycling of wastes
II
Reduce energy and resource consumption
Strengthen the management of energy consumption and material consumption to achieve energy conservation and consumption reduction
Energy saving and consumption reduction through process technology
Transformation of equipment to achieve energy saving and consumption reduction
III
improving the market competitiveness of enterprises
Improve the corporate image and then increase the market share
Improve the market share through the environmental performance of the imported product
Reduce costs and improve the market competitiveness of enterprises
IV
improve the management level of the enterprise and the environmental awareness of all employees
Through ISO14001 recognition, enterprises can establish a set of systematic, procedural, operable, self pressurizing, self-improvement and continuous improvement virtuous cycle mechanism, which will inevitably bring the improvement of enterprise environmental benefits, social benefits and economic benefits
ISO14000 series standards are effective means and tools to guide enterprises to strengthen environmental protection and management
An activity to improve enterprise environmental management mode and standardize environmental management behavior is rising
It should change the previous environmental protection mode of pollution before treatment, and realize enterprise pollution prevention and continuous improvement
It brings us opportunities to improve enterprise environmental management mode
In the final analysis, ISO 14000 series standards are a set of management standards
It is the crystallization of the environmental management experience of industrial developed countries
When formulating it, the conditions of different countries are considered to make the standard generally applicable as far as possible
