Policy controlled environmental management work
The aim of this strategy is to introduce a methodology for improved
controllability of the environmental management system, which was developed
within CPM at Chalmers University of Technology.
This strategy aims at using the environmental policy as an operative tool in
the environmental management system. The policy is a statement of the company’s
values and expresses the aim with its environmental work. The controllability of
the environmental system is improved if all parts of the environmental work can
move in the same direction.
The main intended users are persons working with environmental information
management in companies with an implemented
ISO 14001 environmental management
system e.g. environmental coordinators and people working in environmental
departments. The results will benefit the management and other decision makers in industrial companies as it will facilitate the decisions by providing all
information needed to make them.
The methodology behind this strategy was developed in a project called
“Policy controlled environmental management work” that was carried out between
2003 and 2004 at the Centre for environmental assessment of Product and Material
systems at Chalmers University of Technology. More information can be found in
the
report and
manual from the project.
The methodology implies that the company has an environmental management
system implemented, but can also be used as a guide for how to implement one.
