I subscribe to the list and I get two or three copies, too, but there's
stillnothing I can do about it, since the problem doesn't originate with
any server over which I have any control. Those are bounces from user
accounts that no longer exist ON THEIR ISP. I'm removing them as fast as I
can, but I can't fix something that is not MY direct problem. It's
annoying and frustrating to me, too, but that doesn't make it my fault.
Sorry. Feel free to leave the list at any time. The self-service area is

Subject: RE: foundry
Macarena
Possibly the first foundry in the world which got ISO 14001 certification
(they actually started with BS 7750 and later got EMAS as well) was
Wolstenholm International Ltd in the UK.
A nice case study has been written up about them by the UK Environmental
Technology Best Practise Programme (www.etsu.com/ETBPP) with detailed
information on costs, benefits and return on investment. In their case the
payback period was only 4.5 months. Additionally a manual for EMS
implementation in foundries was developed by ETBPP, however it very much
focussed on language and terminology of BS 7750.
I am not sure however who certified them.
Hope this is of help.

I believe the statement means the company must have a communications policy
and adhere to it. If the policy requires external release of information
when requested then a failure to disclose information would be inconsistent
with its EMS.

From: "Connie G. Ritzert"
Subject: RE: Info on 4.4.3.
Pedro, et.al. : The ISO 14001 statement from Clause 4.4.3 in your question
is confusing in any language. It was developed as a compromise, and as is
the case with so many compromises, the statement lacks clarity of meaning.
It is more clear if you understand the background that led to this
statement.
In ISO TC207/SC1, the subcommittee which developed ISO 14001, there has
been general agreement that communication with external parties is a useful
part of environmental management, but there has been disagreement on
whether such communication should be mandatory in the standard. Some have
argued that external communication about an organization's environmental
aspects and potential impacts, as well as its efforts to manage those
aspects, should be an essential part of an EMS and should be a requirement
of ISO 14001. Those with this view believe the public interest out weighs
concerns of privacy in managing one's own affairs. Others have argued
that while the benefits of external communication, particularly two-way
communication, are valuable to the organization and to its interested
parties, ISO 14001 should suggest, but not mandate such communication.
The latter position is based on the idea that an EMS is primarily an
internal management tool, and that therefore, the organization's management
should make informed decisions on what and to whom to communicate.
As a compromise between these views, the language in 4.4.3 was developed,
namely: -"The organization shall consider processes for external
communication on its significant environmental aspects and record its
decision." The intent of this language is not to mandate external
communication, but to require that the organization seriously consider the
subject of external communication; that it consider putting a process in
place to communicate to external interested parties regarding its
significant environmental aspects; and that it reach and record a decision
on this matter. The last requirement (recording its decision) is intended
to emphasize the importance of the matter and enable an auditor to verify
that the subject has been addressed.
Under ISO 14001, therefore, there is not a requirement to communicate to
external parties ( other than to make the environmental policy available
and to receive, record, and have a process for responding to inquiries
from external parties regarding environmental aspects and the EMS).
However, if the organization has considered processes for external
communication, as required in 4.4.3, and has reached a decision to have
such a process, that process then becomes an internal requirement and must
be followed.
In your example question, if a company has been asked by an external party
for information on one of its significant environmental aspects, under ISO
14001, it must do the following:
(1) It must follow its own procedures for receiving, keeping a record of,
and responding to that question. (2) If it has reached a decision to have
a process for external communication about its significant environmental
aspects, it must follow that process as it applies to the inquiry when
making its response. If its decision regarding external communication was
not to communicate externally on significant environmental aspects, then it
still has an obligation to respond to the inquiry, but it's response may be
that this information is not being made available.
The subject of external commination remains somewhat controversial and is
likely to be discussed during the review cycle of ISO 14001, which has now
begun.
I hope this helps to clarify the subject. Sorry for too many words. If I
had had more time, as the saying goes, I would have written a shorter
note.

Very good Connie, an excellent answer on a very confusing shall statement in
ISO 14001.
Hopefully will this shall statement be changed in the revision process of
ISO 14001.
Among the users of ISO 14001 many SME´s have difficulties to understand
this shall statement.
Environmental Reporting and Communication will be discussed in a round table
seminar
during the ISO/TC 207 meeting in Stockholm 11-18 of June 2000.
The idea is to find out if TC 207 shall start working on this subject.

Does this means that if a company is asked (externally) for some sort of
information on one of its significant environmental aspects, it can chose
not to provide the information and when so, it has to record why it did not
provide it?
Thanks for any input regarding this.
