LRQA Environmental Webinar Series, Part 1 – ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems
Event: 10th September 2009
About the Webinar
The latest in the LRQA Business Assurance Webinar Series takes an up close look at ISO 14001, the global Environmental Management Systems (EMS) Standard.
Elements of the webinar include:
- An update on ISO 14001 from Dr Anne-Marie Warris, the Chairperson of the ISO Committee responsible for 14001 (TC 207:SC1).
- Case studies from two organisations. David Doherty, Environment and Health & Safety Manager, ALcontrol Laboratories in the UK will be our case study during the first webinar and Charlie Souders, Environmental Manager, McNeil PPC, a division of Johnson & Johnson Healthcare Products will be our case study on the second webinar. Both will discuss how the implementation and certification of their EMS has not only addressed their regulatory needs, but also increased efficiency and environmental focus.
- A short guide to implementation and leveraging an EMS, from Steve Williams, Technical Manager, LRQA. This section applies to both those organisations looking at setting up an EMS and those looking to get more out of their current EMS.
- A panel discussion, which will give the audience the opportunity to ask questions about and/or discuss any material in this webinar, or any other EMS or environmental issues which they might be facing.
- Tom Idle, Editor, Sustainable Business Magazine, will chair the webinar. Tom is widely recognised as one of the UK’s leading environment and climate change experts.
