2. Systems Approach The Evolution of Environmental Management (EM) Pollution Prevention Regulatory Compliance Strategic Environmental Management

3. The Future of Pollution Prevention (P2)... Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) “ Environmental Management System ”

4. Evolution of an Organization’s Environmental Management Noncompliance waste & pollution Pollution control compliance Pollution Prevention Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) Energy, Water & Resources Conservation Product stewardship Design for Environment Life-Cycle assessment Environmental Management Accounting Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Eco-efficiency Sustainability [Unprepared] [Reactive] [Compliant] [Sustained] [ Market Driven ] [Competitive Advantage]

5. rKeep EMS simple. Use what you already have in place. Don’t detail it to death. rIt doesn’t have to be perfect out-of-the-gate. Remember the concept of ‘continual improvement’! EMS challenge areas…  Determining aspects/impacts & significance  Communicating EMS to all functions & levels of the organization  Communicating EMS to all suppliers & contractors  Communicating with additional external interested parties  Environmentally-involved & aware employees  EMS provides change management capabilities EMS Design & Implementation: Lessons Learned

6.  Knowing your organization’s culture is critical  Implementing EMS is about people  Environmental manager (EM) & activities have greater visibility  EM roles & responsibilities change (operational to long-term focus)  It’s hard for EM to relinquish control, assume managerial responsibilities & project management, function in business mindset, overcome histories (‘police’ & ISO 9000) & build new relationships throughout the plant EMS Design & Implementation: Lessons Learned

8.  Cam Metcalf Tim Piero 502-852-0965 University of Louisville  Holly Grell-Lawe 404-894-4299 and Deann Desai 706- 769-4887 Georgia Tech Research Institute  Phil Barnes 803-777-1373 University of South Carolina  George Smelcer 615-532-8657 University of Tennessee University Partners Project Lead: Christine Steagall University of South Carolina 803-777-7463

9. Why Implement an EMS?  Enhance mission/combat readiness  Boost operational efficiency & consistency  Improve compliance assurance  Promote environmental involvement  Supports sustainability/stewardship  Meet top ‘management’ directives ðExecutive Order 13148 ðArmy EMS Policy Memo (5 Apr ’02) ðDeputy Secretary of Air Force Memo (July ’02)

10. EMS Perceptions  “EMS is an industry thing.”  “I’m going to be told how to do my EMS.”  “I’ll have to get ISO-14001 registered.”  “I’ll never have another compliance violation.”  “Once I get the EMS in place, I’m done.”  “What do universities know about EMSs?”

11. What Makes an EMS Different From What We Already Do?  Continual environmental performance improvement  Opportunities in non-regulated areas  ‘Environmental’ part of everyone’s responsibilities including ‘top management’

12. EMS Training Task Objectives  Develop military-sector user-group for EMS implementation training & technical assistance  Assist installations learn how to plan, implement, and audit ISO 14001-aligned EMSs  Transfer proven installation, industrial and public sector “lessons learned” in EMS implementation

13. Tiered-Training Approach  Tier 1-open to all Region 4 installations ðFour training days in Atlanta Session 1: Orientation & overview of implementing an EMS Session 2: Planning & managing the EMS Session 3: Getting results through a performance-based EMS Session 4: Documentation, auditing & continual improvement Suggested start date: Fall 2002 Completion: EOY 2003

14. Tiered-Training Approach  Tier 2-open to at least 16 Region 4 installations ð“Hands-on” EMS planning, implementation and auditing/focus on “challenge” areas ðEach university partners with small group of installations ðFacilitate EMS implementation in operational areas ðWithin each state, each university & participating installations will develop training format Suggested start date: Fall, 2002 Completion: EOY 2003

15. What the Training is Like  Focus on the managerial/cultural as well as technical considerations of EMS implementation  Hear mentors (Tier 1)—Elgin AFB, Camp Lejuene, Ft. Lewis (tentatives)  Learn proven implementation strategies (pilots)  Highly participative (50% lecture/50% exercise)  Complete key EMS tasks in-class/homework  Download EMS materials from DoD only web access (Denix after pilot)  Networking opportunities with other installations, services & mentors

16. Training Benefits  Allow time to implement system  Get jump by using a “free” resource for EMS training and tool development  Be leader in DoD EMS implementation required by EO

17.  Army POC Roc Tschirhart 404-524-5061  Air Force POC Dave Glass 404-562-4201  Navy POC Laila Capers 904-542-1530  Marine Corps POC Tony Best 910-451-0150 For Questions…
