Implementing the environmental management system as factor to improve company image

Abstract

The rising awareness on the importance of environmental protection and on the possible impact associated with products produced and consumed has increased the interest in developing methods to better understand and address this impact. Thus, 14000 environmental management standards were born. This determines environmental policy issues and the environmental impact of products, activities or services of the organisation, the planning of the objectives on environmental protection, the setting of measurable targets, the implementation of policies and programmes necessary to achieve these goals and targets, the mechanisms of control and feedback measures, the corrective activity monitoring and the assessment management system. This article exemplifies how this standard was implemented at the company HIB Rolem Codlea.
