Abstract

Green Profits covers two tightly connected topics, environmental management systems (EMS) and pollution prevention (P2), in a single volume. Authored by an environmental engineer and an economist/planner, Green Profits shows how to implement an EMS, especially ISO 14001, so that it leads to profitable pollution prevention innovations, and how to identify and implement pollution prevention measures in a sound strategic business framework. Green Profits provides the knowledge and tools for enterprise managers to achieve the benefits of both EMS and P2, and to do so in ways that fit in with exis

Abstract

Adoptée en 1996 par l'Organisation internationale de normalisation, la norme ISO 14001 marque le début d'une reconnaissance internationale de la gestion environnementale. À partir des années 2000, on peut dire que le principal défi ne concerne plus la reconnaissance de la problématique environnementale ni l'engagement formel des entreprises, mais bien l'amélioration sensible de leur performance en cette matière. Ce manuel s'adresse à tous ceux qu'intéresse la gestion environnementale, qu'ils soient dirigeants d'entreprises industrielles, forestières ou agricoles ou encore, étudiants en gestion environnementale, en ingénierie ou en droit. Premier ouvrage de référence en langue française, il est adapté au contexte québécois, mais il tient également compte de l'évolution en Amérique du Nord et en Europe. L'ouvrage est divisé en trois grandes parties. La première vise à initier le lecteur à la problématique environnementale et aux défis qu'elle représente pour l'entreprise contemporaine. La deuxième partie constitue en quelque sorte le cœur de l'ouvrage puisqu'on y présente les grands principes de gestion environnementale en les illustrant systématiquement par des cas concrets. Finalement, la troisième partie est consacrée aux outils de la gestion environnementale : la vérification, la communication et la gestion du risque. Le livre tient compte des grands principes de structure, de juridiction et d'implantation concrète de la norme ISO 14001 en se référant à des initiatives de niveau national et international.

Abstract

Can businesses voluntarily adopt progressive environmental policies? Most environmental regulations are based on the assumption that the pursuit of profit leads firms to pollute the environment, and therefore governments must impose mandatory regulations. However, new instruments such as voluntary programs are increasingly important. Drawing on the economic theory of club goods, this book offers a theoretical account of voluntary environmental programs by identifying the institutional features that influence conditions under which programs can be effective. By linking program efficacy to club design, it focuses attention on collective action challenges faced by green clubs. Several analytic techniques are used to investigate the adoption and efficacy of ISO 14001, the most widely recognized voluntary environmental program in the world. These analyses show that, while the value of ISO 14001's brand reputation varies across policy and economic contexts, on average ISO 14001 members pollute less and comply better with governmental regulations.

Abstract

This book is a comprehensive reference on ISO management system standards and their implementation. The impacts that ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 have had on business performance are analyzed in depth, and up-to-date perspectives are offered on the integration of these and other management standards (e.g. SA8000, ISO/TS 16949). Detailed information is provided on the signaling value of different management standards and on the new ISO standards for management systems, such as ISO 50001 and ISO 45001, relating to energy management and occupational health and safety. The role of audits in ensuring compliance with the standards and achievement of objectives is also carefully considered. The volume examines avenues for further research and emerging challenges. In offering an integrated, holistic perspective on ISO management system standards, this book will have wide appeal for academics, public decision-makers, and practitioners in the field of quality and environmental management. .
