8 And public interest in this is now so great that the implementationand operation of an efficient and effective Environmental Management system (EMS)is as important to the financial well-being of a company as it is to the environmentthat it is intended to protect. Apart from incurring financial penalties when environ-mental protection legislation is breached, a greater problem that businesses face isthat poor Environmental performance can lead to a boycott of a company s productsand services by customers, with consequential serious damage to its financial extreme cases.

9 The general public may also take direct action that hinders or evenshuts down a company s 14000 is a descriptor for a set of Standards that have been developed inresponse to this global concern about the environment. These Standards represent aconsensus agreement by national Standards bodies around the world about the procedures that need to be followed in establishing an effective EMS. The primarystandard amongst this set is ISO 14001, and the fundamental aim of this book is tocover the procedures that should be implemented by a company in order to satisfythe requirements laid down in this Management to ISO 14001 Standards is of similar importance toquality Management to ISO 9001 Standards in today s businesses, and the linkagebetween the two will be stressed in the text.

10 Apart from the need to satisfy the strin-gent Environmental control legislation that exists in most developed countries, theimage of a company is damaged if pollution incidents occur, particularly if these areidentified by Environmental pressure groups, and this can have a severe impact on the marketability of products and services provided by the company. Conversely,ISO 14001 certification can have a very positive impact on a company s business, inview of the widespread public interest that now exists in Environmental many texts are available that cover the Management considerations in imple-menting Environmental protection procedures that satisfy ISO 14001, these usuallygive little guidance about the necessary engineering procedures that are involved, orthe associated financial implications.
