Similar to the Quality Management System implemented for
ISO 9001, the ISO14001 requires implementation of an Environmental Management System in
accordance with defined internationally recognized standards.
The ISO14001 standard specifies requirements for
establishing an environmental policy, determining environmental aspects & impacts of
products/activities/services, planning environmental objectives and measurable targets,
implementation & operation of programs to meet objectives & targets, checking
& corrective action, and management review.
"It is clear that Corner Brook Pulp and Paper has a
strong and dedicated commitment to the environment and the Environment Management System
at all levels of the organization. They have demonstrated a commitment to professional
activities in the field. This has led to their success in attaining this
registration," said Patrick Castonguay, Client Services Representative for QMI in
Montreal.
"We are extremely pleased today to have reached this
significant point in Environmental Management. It is very important to not only say that
you are doing the right things but to be recognized by the industry to be doing the right
things. We are proud of this Registration and pleased with the third party endorsement of
our environmental practices," said Kevin Sheahan, Vice President and General Manager
of Corner Brook Pulp and Paper.
The key to a successful ISO14001 EMS is having
documented procedures that are implemented and maintained in such a way that successful
achievement of environmental goals commensurate with the nature and scale of our
activities is promoted. In addition, the EMS must include appropriate monitoring and
review to ensure effective functioning of the EMS and to identify and implement corrective
measures in a timely manner. |
