Subject: Re: list of 14001 certified companies
You are to be commended for maintaining your list. May I suggest another
approach?
Lets suppose there was an Application Servbice Provider, one that kept track of
environmental regulations, companies and specific software appplications and
offered to outsource the information management aspect for small and medium
companies? Would that be of interest to anyone? If none existed, it could be
created and could provide net based support to theose companies that needed
help. I believe an opportunity exists for a groupd of talented software and
internet savvy individuals to plan, design and develop a web based service to
the whole country and the world.
I suppose this idea has been tossed around, but I haven't see on the web. Have
any of you?

Subject: EMS in power industry
Dear List members,
I am environemntal coordinator in Croatian national electricity HEP. We are
starting a reserach study to investigate costs and benefits of EMS
implemetation in HEP and the most cost efficient way to do it.
My question is whether you are aware of any EMS Benchmarking study of power
industry sector (I know for one conducted by E&Y on behalf of Ontario Hydro
but was unable to get results) ? Any other information or particular
experience from power ompany or consultant is also welcomed.

Subject: INTERNET RESEARCH REGISTER ON ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Dear Colleagues,
Since some people have been having some problems in entering their
research projects on environmental management and health onto the
register, I thought I should
let yo know that the same form is available as a word document which can
be sent to whoever
is interested. The aim of the register is to document and disseminate
information on on-going projects in these areas and to foster networks.
The benefits to authors are many and include (in addition to
international exposure) the possibility of marketing themselves and
their research capabilities, plus increased networking. It is also
envisaged that some of the best studies registered will be published in
forthcoming issues of "Environmental Management and Health", a
fully-refereed journal and a leading journal in this field.
The registration is of course free of charge. Registered
entries will be placed in a "holding area" and will
be disseminated to the general public when the register is officially
launched in a few weeks time. No matter if you are working in the
education
sector, industry, government or at an international agency, or the the
focus of your environmental work,
the register will give you the chance to set a foot in the research
world, and to take part in a first-class research promotion exercise.
Interested colleagues should register now, to secure a place in what
is
likely to be a popular resource for the dissemination of scholarly
research.
Please e-mail our office at eeen@realworld.de and we will send you the
form for
completion.

Subject: List of ISO 14000 companies online and free
A few days ago someone wrote asking for a list of companies certified to
ISO 14000. I responded, but unfortunately sent it only to that one
individual. I'm repeating it for the list here:
For the most complete free listing available, try
www.ehso.com/rssguide.htm
(look under "I" for ISO)./ We also post - for free - the info on any company that is certified to ISO14000 - in addition there are loads of pages of information about ISO14000 available, too.
It's all free - we're trying to combat the trend of other sites to charge for everything. We have over 650 pages of information for EHS professionals about a wide variety of environmental, health and safety topics available - all free - an no advertising. We have another 100 pages or so for environmental health and safety information for the general public, home and community at www.ehso.com/ehshome/contents.htm
And by all means, we encourage feedback and suggestions!

Subject: Opening of China & Transferring Environment-Related Technologies
Greetings:
I am interested to learn about some of the successes
(and failures) you may know of with regard to western companies &
individuals attempting to transfer environmental technologies into China and
SE Asia. I am particularly interested in Australian companies [but do not
want to limit discussion to these if other have relevant experience].
To give you more context,I am distilling key learnings from individuals and
companies who have been involved in bringing
technology (particularly those technologies with an
environmental focus and derived from Australia) into mainland China and more
generally, into SE Asian countries. And that includes both "hard" and "soft"
technologies, i.e. environmental management advice.
Specifically, I am interested to know:
1. Why have certain activities of technology transfer been successful and
others not?
2 What is unique (if anything) about transferring Australian
environmental technologies to China and SE Asia and what have we (i.e
practitioners)learnt so far?
3. What are the specific technical areas (examples) where
Australian entrepreneurs might successfully sell environmental technologies
to China and SE Asia?
4. What are the related areas (that the government and private sector)
should be pursuing in research?
5. How do existing government policies (in Australia, China or
elsewhere)favour (or hinder) the transfer to China of particular
environmental technologies?
I look forward to reading your comments.

From: "Dawes, Simon"
Subject: Greenhouse issues
Fellow listers,
Climate change is obviously becoming a critical part of the business
environment and a "significant" aspect to be managed by organisations
implementing EMS. One issue for auditors is that absolute performance
measures are not part of ISO14001, and yet management of greenhouse
emissions inevitably introduces performance of plant and equipment - how
is the auditor to consider greenhouse impacts?
One judgement that the auditor is required to make is whether the
identification of aspects and impacts by the organisation is complete -
that is, the test of the identification process is whether the auditor
can identify any obvious aspects that the organisation has not, or
whether the identification process itself is systematic. Is the state of
knowledge regarding GHG emissions at a level where major emitters need
to identify emissions as a significant impact?
If emissions are identified as a significant impact, then the
organisation needs to identify objectives and targets related to the
significant impacts and its own policy position.
There are also government and international issues to be taken to
account. For example, the Australian Government through the Australian
Greenhouse Office has a joint government/industry program called
"Greenhouse Challenge" underway to assist organisations reduce their GHG
emissions and assist Australia meet the proposed Kyoto abatement
targets. Progress reporting and independent verification is part of this
process. DNV was recently appointed to manage the independent
verification process for the AGO - a press release follows. If an
organisation has a co-operative agreement then it could obviously be
included as part of 4.3.2 legislation and all performance issues would
thus have the force of an environmental licence.
If listers are interested, discussion of GHG measures and assessment as
part of ISO14001 could be an interesting thread to pursue.
Best Regards,
Simon Dawes

International Firm to Manage Verification of Greenhouse Actions
Independent verification of the greenhouse gas abatement actions of
Greenhouse Challenge members is about to begin.
Det Norske Veritas, an international organisation specialising in third
party certification and verification will manage the project.
Greenhouse Challenge is a voluntary program of the Australian Greenhouse
Office, the lead Commonwealth agency on greenhouse matters and the first
office of its kind in the world.
Welcoming the independent verification, Chief Executive of the
Australian Greenhouse Office, Gwen Andrews, said the process would
underpin the credibility of the Greenhouse Challenge both domestically
and internationally.
"Businesses join Greenhouse Challenge to seek assistance in abating
greenhouse gas emissions. Their actions are helping Australia meet its
Kyoto targets.
"An international organisation with many years experience in third party
certification and verification, the Norwegian organisation Det Norske
Veritas (DNV) are leaders in the field of independent verification and
related greenhouse issues.
"The independent verification of the Greenhouse Challenge will determine
the accuracy of emissions inventories and actions undertaken reported by
organisations to the Federal Government," Ms Andrews said.
The independent verification of between 25 and 30 Challenge participants
will begin early next year.

18 November, 1999.
The Greenhouse Challenge
An innovative program designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
Greenhouse Challenge is a joint initiative of the Commonwealth
Government and industry.
The program aims to achieve maximum greenhouse reductions, while
enhancing the competitive advantage of business. Joining the Challenge
delivers better business and environmental performance.
Australian industry accounts for about 45 per cent of Australia's
greenhouse gas emissions. Through Greenhouse Challenge, organisations
are encouraged to take a voluntary and self-regulatory approach to
emission reductions. This most commonly involves improvements in energy
and process efficiency.
Who can join the Challenge?
The Challenge can accommodate every business, no matter what their shape
or size.
* large companies joining the Challenge develop comprehensive individual
cooperative agreements with the Commonwealth Government
* industry associations can sign agreements to encourage their members
joining the program; and
* medium-sized businesses can contribute to greenhouse action through a
sector-based project, Managing Energy for Profits. Companies in the
textiles, hotels, hospitals, coal mining and metals sectors have signed
these agreements.
Small businesses can play a part through the Greenhouse Allies program
by working in partnership with Challenge members to reduce their
emissions.
How the program works
The voluntary and cost-effective approach of the Greenhouse Challenge
has proven popular with companies and successful in achieving results.
Hundreds of enterprises have joined the Challenge.
Companies who have signed agreements account for 50 per cent of industry
end-use emissions. In addition, all emissions from electricity
distribution and transmission are covered by companies participating in
the Challenge. Together these enterprises will reduce the growth in
their emissions by around 25 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent
by the year 2000 - a 17 per cent saving of total emissions for next
year.
Progress reports by companies that were early signatories to the
Challenge show that they are on track to achieve their forecast savings
for 2000.
Greenhouse Challenge requires ongoing monitoring and public reporting.
Companies must incorporate greenhouse into their management and publicly
report their performance over time. Independent verification of the
program ensures companies present a realistic forecast of emission
reductions and enhances the community's faith in the credibility of the
program.
Benefits for Challenge Members
* Their clients and the community know they are being environmental
responsible
* They are preparing the company to better manage their greenhouse gas
emissions in the future
* They reduce their bottom lines by adopting best practice production
processes
* Show that voluntary action by industry on greenhouse gas reduction
works.
Det Norske Veritas
DNV has many years experience in third party verification and has taken
part in several high profile greenhouse gas conventions and projects,
eg. the World Bank Ilumex verification and certification pilot. DNV has
run pilot greenhouse projects for the Norwegian and Swedish governments,
and is also assisting BP Amoco reach its greenhouse gas emission
reduction targets.
Established in 1864, DNV is an autonomous, independent foundation with
the objective of safeguarding life, property and the environment. The
DNV organisation comprises 300 offices in 100 countries, with a total of
5500 employees. DNV has approximately 75 staff in Australia with its

Here's a few sources of additional information:
On the ISO web site at http://www.iso.ch/9000e/9k14ke.htm there is an
article titled "The ISO Survey of ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 Certificates" which
compares trends by industry type.
Also the ISO 14000 Information Center Web Site at http://www.iso14000.com/
has information and links to several sources pertaining to who is
registering, trends, etc. (click on the "Community" button from the main
page of this web site, and then click on "Companies Registered/Certified to
ISO 14001" to get to this information and additional links at
http://www.iso14000.com/Community/RegisteredList.htm
Including links to the ISO 14001 speedometer, ISOWorld, analysis of trends
for US Companies registering to the standards, analysis of Japanese
companies, etc.
Other areas of the www.iso14000.com site have EMS articles, etc.
You can also post this question at http://www.iso14000.com/isodiscussions/

You will find quite a lot of information (all free) at Environmental Health
& Safety Online, http://www.ehso.com/rssguide.htm. Just scroll down to "I"
for ISO14000 and you'll find a dozen or more pages there.
If you still can't find what you need, just let me know!

Subject: RE: ISO 14000 courses
Mr. Peck: ASTM offers two good courses on ISO 14001 that also provide
background & update information on the other ISO 14000 standards. Those
courses are:
"ISO 14001 Implementation for Managers" - a 2-day course on understanding &
implementing an ISO 14001 EMS
"ISO 14001 for Internal Auditors" - a 3-day course on understanding ISO
14001 from an auditor's perspective and developing and implementing an
internal EMS audit program.
These course are given both as open enrollment courses at scheduled times
during the year and as in-house courses, at the location of your choice.
For more information, contact Scott Murphy at ASTM smurphy@astm.org
Of course, consultants such as myself, offer briefings and seminars on the
subject, also.
Best of luck,

Can someone provide the reference for Connecticut's recent (summer 1999)
law providing regulatory incentives to companies that register to ISO 14000
and subscribe to "The Natural Step" ? I know that there is a web address
for CT that has the text of the legislation, but I can't seem to find it.
Thanx.
