Many enterprises in Zhejiang speed up ISO14000 environmental quality certification
to meet the common challenges of mankind
the common challenges of human society: Metropolitan ecology, environment and sustainable development
in the face of frequent dust storms, water resources on the brink of crisis, expanding cities and chaotic industrialization, scientific elites called for: environmental issues can no longer be regarded as "the emperor's new clothes", and green topics can't be just "green foam"
therefore, people talk about a "late effect". A consensus is that human industrial civilization inevitably has to pay environmental costs. If developing countries want to completely avoid the road of "pollution before treatment", it may just be "an ideal beyond reality". However, they can still make use of the "late effect" in many aspects to gain some "advantages" in environmental development
Qian Yi, a professor of environment at Tsinghua University and academician of the Academy of engineering, said at an environmental seminar that accelerating the implementation of cleaner production and ISO14000 in the whole society can shorten the gap. She further explained that ISO is the abbreviation of the international organization for standardization. The 9000 series of standards they have established is a product quality assurance system, while 14000 is an environmental management system. Its purpose is to reduce environmental pollution and save resources by standardizing behavior, so as to achieve sustainable development. If our enterprises implement this standard in the whole process of production and reproduction, the so-called "pollution before treatment" old road that developed countries have followed, even if we cannot completely avoid it, we can also reduce the degree of pollution a lotfacing the non-tariff barriers that may appear after China's entry into the WTO, Hangzhou is also accelerating the construction of ISO14000 environmental management system. In September, 1999, Hangzhou contained Milad? Nxtm8000 ultra permeable polypropylene sheet can be widely used in the field of fruit, meat products and fast food packaging, and has passed the acceptance of ISO14000 pilot cities of the State Environmental Protection Administration
iso set off a hot trend of reaching the standard
green is the most touching word in the new century. With the enhancement of environmental awareness, all walks of life are moving towards "green" ××” Get close. According to insiders, when vigorously carrying out the evaluation activities of "green hotels" in the province, at least ten hotels in Hangzhou are trying to "meet the standards" and strive to pass the ISO14000 foreign system demonstration. A person in charge of green product management in the provincial Environmental Protection Bureau predicted that this would be another hot spot for enterprises to meet the foreign standards after ISO9000
the foreign system is not only popular in enterprises, but also a little popular from the information from the market. The blooming market in Zhejiang has brought numerous convenience and benefits to consumers. However, this is also a high incidence of quality complaints. When a consumer complained about the quality of a building materials market, the administrator revealed a clever trick. Antibacterial plastics are mainly obtained by adding a little antibacterial agent to the matrix plastic: "buy something and see if this enterprise has passed ISO9000. Generally speaking, the quality of the passed products is guaranteed." Another owner who talked about paint color change also found a good way to buy with confidence: "buy environmentally friendly paint, buy products through ISO14000 enterprises"
as of February, 2001, 509 enterprises across the country have passed the ISO14000 certification, of which 20 in Zhejiang have passed the ISO14000 certification
What does the foreign system bring
in the interview, we found that the most intuitive effect brought by ISO14000 is to achieve the maximum economic benefits with the minimum energy consumption and the minimum pollution. The certified enterprise turns in a report card of cleaner production
as the first service industry enterprise in Zhejiang Province to pass the ISO14000 certification, Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Hotel immediately realized the benefits of environmental management from its book. From January to June last year, the absolute amount of energy expenditure on water, electricity and oil decreased by 800000 yuan over the same period last year, and this index was achieved with the increase of 13.29% in the room occupancy rate and the increase of a large number of facilities. In addition, due to the implementation of target indicators and measures, the consumption of paper and plastic products alone decreased by 23% and 60% respectively. Employees at the grassroots level also feel the importance of environmental commitment in the implementation process. They took the initiative to change the routine practice of stacking the laundry room supplies on the carpet to avoid secondary pollution
Panasonic household appliances Co., Ltd. passed the system certification as early as 1997. They not only started with internal management, invested in the reconstruction of sewage treatment plants and replaced coal-fired boilers with oil fired boilers, but also strengthened the environmental extension of the upstream and downstream of the industry, and promoted more groups to participate in environmental protection through environmental publicity of sub suppliers. In 1997, 63 sub suppliers were publicized and implemented, and 144 sub suppliers made commitments to environmental protection and pollution control. In 1998, it expanded to 110, accounting for more than 70% of all sub suppliers of the company
after demonstration, a silk printing and garment enterprise named Damei in Jiaxing has a new understanding of the waste management of the factory. They carefully analyzed many factors that may have an impact on the environment, such as wastewater, exhaust gas, noise, solid waste, chemicals and so on, and established corresponding management measures and systems respectively. When people have no awareness of garbage classification, they take the initiative to classify solid waste
I like it because of its systematization
however, clean production that saves energy and reduces consumption is not all brought about by the foreign system. More importantly, it brings a new idea - systematization. This may be the answer why the evaluation of "green hotels" is not so attractive compared with ISO14000
almost all hotel managers admit that the standards of green hotels are consistent with the requirements of ISO14000. Both are based on the concept of environmental protection. But they prefer the latter, which is a systematic management system. Through the implementation of this management system, not only the management of the enterprise department has reached a new level, but also has the significance of sustainable development. Generally speaking, one only tells what standard to achieve, and the other not only tells the result, but also tells you how to do it. One is to reach the standard at one time, and the other is to continue to develop and improve
after receiving the 240 page "ISO9002/14000" certification document compilation of Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Hotel, I found that it not only listed the environmental objectives to be achieved by hotel management, but more importantly, in order to achieve this objective, how should all departments and links operate in a standardized manner. This set of procedure documents is not simply formulated for environmental compliance, but runs through the internal management of the whole enterprise
liulingjun from the quality assurance department of Hangzhou Panasonic household appliances Co., Ltd. said with deep experience that people in China are familiar with activities such as evaluation and comparison. In the past, it was an order and a rating. Everyone was busy with this and that. It seems that it is always raising this and that climax, but the stage has passed, and the good practices have been "forgotten". Even in terms of management emphasis, it changes with the taste of leaders. However, the systematic ISO14000 uses the standard impact specimen to form a long square, and the strict closed-circuit circulation of PDCA urges you to constantly check and put forward new goals
the so-called PDCA starts from formulating environmental policies to proposing plans, including environmental factors, legal and other requirements, objectives and indicators, environmental management plans, and then implementing operations, including organizational structure and responsibilities, training awareness and ability, information exchange, environmental management system documents, document control and operation control, emergency preparedness and response. The fourth step is to check and take corrective actions for continuous improvement after management review
the "track" of integration
integration is the word with the highest frequency since China's economic reform and opening up. To be in line with the international standards is often talked about by all walks of life. But what kind of "track" is it? ISO14000 has brought us useful inspiration
ISO for market access. Jiaxing Damei silk printing clothing company two years ago, a batch of their products were detained by the customs of a certain country on the grounds of "suspicion of using inhuman production methods". Finally, they showed various certifications including ISO14000, which proved that this suspicion was groundless
economic globalization is inevitable. People's desire to connect is so strong, but they often have deeper doubts about how to connect? What kind of "track"? I imagine that quality assurance system and environmental certification system, which represent advanced management methods and concepts, are the right way to market and globalization
changing the concept of ISO. Xu Jiangang, assistant general manager of Xiaoshan International Hotel, insisted that he was involved in the demonstration of ISO9000 and ISO14000, which made him really reach a higher level. He described his work in charge of argumentation in the past two years as more and more interesting. He also attended training courses at his own expense and passed the examination to become a National Registered Auditor. "I know how to do things", Xu Jiangang believes that the biggest gain is that he has fundamentally changed the Oriental way of doing things at will to the Western way of thinking that emphasizes logic and science. In his speech, he appreciated the logic of these two systems
when a society changes from a human society to a legal society, and from an agricultural economy to an industrial economy, people's ideas need to change. Change is painful and long. This change cannot be accomplished without appropriate opportunities. The implementation of the new system is the opportunity of "change". There should be more such fetchism
information from relevant certification bodies shows that at present, more than a dozen enterprises in Zhejiang are actively working to start with picking green passes
in the announcement issued by the China Environmental Management System Certification Committee, it can be clearly seen that the more economically developed regions are, the higher environmental requirements are. Enterprises in Guangdong, Shanghai, Shandong, Jiangsu and other provinces and cities that have obtained green passes account for more than 60% of enterprises that have passed the demonstration compared with other operation links in industrial and agricultural production. There is still a big gap between Zhejiang and the above regions
iso14000
iso14000 series standards are global standards and modern management systems with the concept of cleaner production. By the end of 1999, a total of 120 countries had introduced the standard, with more than 13000 certified organizations worldwide
due to its wide applicability, its users can be global commercial, industrial, government and non-profit organizations
the benefits of implementing this series of standards are reflected in: reducing the cost of waste management; Save resources and energy consumption; Improve the image of the organization in the eyes of legislators, consumers and the public; Reducing environmental risks provides a framework for continuous improvement of environmental behavior
