Abstract :
The ISO 14001 document entitled “Environmental Management Systems-Specification with Guidance for Use” is arguably the most consequential in the ISO 14000 series. This standard lays out the elements of the management system that organizations are required to conform to if they seek registration, or certification, after passing an independent third party audit from an accredited registrar. This paper discusses key elements of the standard and describes how IBM-Austin plans to implement an environmental management system that conforms to ISO 14001. Where possible, IBM-Austin will use existing management tools and processes
