Overview
No doubt you want to ensure that your company helps the earth's environment - but you're also charged with meeting quality standards, complying with all manner of legal requirements, and ensuring employees' safety - not to mention keeping the company profitable! The new ISO 14000 standard for environmental management may seem like yet another burden of unknown magnitude looming on the horizon. This pragmatic overview of ISO 14000 gives you a complete context for how the standard was developed, what the requirements entail, how closely your company measures up, and clear advice on how to formulate a productive, air-tight plan before the standard becomes a state-of-emergency requirement.Editorials

You can be sure that ISO 14000 is a trend of which to be aware when it surfaces in "Dilbert" cartoon strips. Author Lamprecht (Bellevue, WA), a management consultant, overviews how this new standard of the International Organization for Standardization evolved, its voluntary guidelines for helping promote responsible environmental management globally, differences from ISO 9000, how its pollution-minimizing legal requirements will impact business, and tools for still earning a profit while being in "green" compliance with ISO 14000 and ISO 14001. Glossary; appendixes on planning, financial indicators, maximum recommended hazardous chemical exposures, sample policies, case study of a life-cycle analysis, and waste material by industry and processes.
