”Integrated Environmental Management ” – Course Notes
INDICATORS FUNCTIONS
An organization that treated waste water discharged into a lake can choose the following indicators for EPE:
the total quantity of the specific contaminant discharged per year
(possible target groups: local community)
the contaminant concentration in the wastewater
(possible target groups: legislative and regulatory authorities)
the amount of contaminant discharged per product manufactured
(possible target groups: management and consumers)
changing the quantity of contaminant discharged per year depending on the investment in clean
technologies or modernization process
(possible target groups: management and investors).
An organization that provides services, located in an area where air quality is unsatisfactory , uses air quality
information to choose appropriate indicators for EPE, as the objective of reducing emissions from motor vehicles.
MPI
-amounts spent on promoting public transport use
-the number of training hours for employees to use public transport
-the effectiveness of efforts to reduce fuel consumption, improve
vehicle maintenance and fuel efficiency and use of alternative fuels.
OPI
-The reduction of motor vehicle emissions due to the use of alternative fuels
-The total amount of fuel consumed
-The frequency of the maintenance operations for vehicles
-The number of vehicles equipped with environmental control technologies.
ECI
- the concentrations of air pollutants associated with motor vehicle emissions
ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTING
Organizations (productive or providing services) are known to the public
information relating to emissions, activities and performances in the environmental
protection and ensure sustainable development.
Advantages:
• Improve company image
• Efficient Management
• Facilitates dialogue with suppliers and customers
• Facilitates the relationships with civil society (feedback)
• Discover the "hot spots" and development opportunities
• Management and marketing tool
REFERENCE DOCUMENTS
TYPES OF REPORTS
• Mandatory reports
TRI – Toxic Release Inventory in USA
PRTR – Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers in European countries.
These records include lists of pollutants and hazardous substances classified by the
impact they have on the environment and human health. Any company that produces
substances in these records is required to publish their emissions and the manner in
which they carry out their management
• Voluntary reports - example: annual environmental statements which provide under
EMAS - Eco-Management and Audit Scheme, GRI reports (Global Reporting Initiative)
