ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ISO 14001 IN SLOVENIAN ORGANIZATIONS

Sistem ravnanja z okoljem zajema celovito obvladovanje okoljskih vidikov proizvodne ali storitvene dejavnosti. Smernice za sistem ravnanja z okoljem najdemo v standardu ISO 14001, njegova uporaba pa organizaciji pomaga, da uresniči okoljevarstvena načela svoje okoljske politike. Tako lažje obvladuje morebitne nevarnosti za okolje, se nenehno prilagaja novim zahtevam kupcev, trga, zakonodaje ter tudi napredku znanosti in tehnologije. V nalogi je predstavljena uporaba standarda ISO 14001 v slovenskih organizacijah, saj je do leta 2013 certifikat prejelo že 500 organizacij. Rezultati raziskave so nam pokazali, da sta glavna motiva za vpeljavo standarda v poslovanje organizacij izboljševanje okoljskega delovanja in usmerjenost v trajnostni razvoj. Kot največji doprinos certifikacije pa organizacije navajajo izboljšanje podobe organizacije, izboljšanje internih procesov, zmanjševanje potrošnje energentov, povečanje konkurenčne prednosti in pa povečanje stopnje recikliranja odpadkov. Predstavljena je tudi integracija sistema ravnanja z okoljem z drugimi sistemi managementa, ki jo je izvedlo kar 80,2% organizacij. Kot prednosti integracije pa organizacije navajajo omogočanje skupnih zunanjih in notranjih presoj, enotno sistemsko dokumentacijo in sinergično delovanje različnih sistemov managemeta.Environmental management system includes comprehensive management of the environmental aspects of the production or service activities.
