(Outline of the standard)

1.ISO14000 series

The ISO 14000 series is an international standard for the environment which was established for the purpose of stopping the influence of organizational activities on the environment to the minimum.
It consists of ISO 14001/14004 concerning the environmental management system and ISO 14010/14011/14012 concerning the environmental audit.
In the ISO 14001 issued in 1996, a mechanism that continually improves the system to improve the environmental performance, such as reducing the environmental impact of organizational activities, products and services, that is, the requirements for establishing the Environmental Management System (EMS) are applied.

2.Management system certification registration system

Third parties assess that products and processes conform to requirements of a specific standard, while the certification or registration bodies assess that the quality or environmental management system of the organization (company, factory, etc.) conforms to the requirements of ISO 9000 series or ISO 14001 respectively.
If they are compatible, its suppliers and business operators are registered and publicized which is called the management system certification registration system.。

(Construction point of ours)
Regarding as an important point to make full use of the contents of the ISO 14000 series and ISO 9000 series and still to comply with the original purpose of ISO in addition to the ISO 14001 which is the subject of the review of the “Management system certification registration system”, we propose the following.

1. Properly notifying what the “original purpose of environmental management” is, we provide a mechanism to break away from “reduction of paper, garbage, electricity” to “reduction of environmental load of products and manufacturing processes”.
2. We provide a mechanism for growth considering the value for clients (environmental value). From “product out type design” to “market in type design”.
3. We provide “Contents that enhance quality awareness through environmental activities” including the following:
   1）Creating a reporting, communication, consultation mechanism (for sharing quality and environmental information)
   2）Creating a mechanism that “does not depend too much on competence and decision of individuals”
   3）Creating a mechanism for internal communication
   4）Creating a mechanism of the Human Resource Management
