BEST PRACTICES 最佳做法

EMS CERTIFICATION

Become certified (or use the principles) of a standardized certification such as ISO14001 to develop your

Environmental Management System. ISO14001 is a framework that a company or organization can follow

to set up an effective environmental management system.

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Consider producing or purchasing renewable energy. Using renewable

energy is an effective way to reduce a company’s carbon footprint and

impact on climate change and global warming. Additionally, the return

on investment can be significant due to the reduction in energy costs.

Businesses can install solar, wind, or other renewable power sources.

WATER FOOTPRINt ANALYSIS

Conduct a water footprint analysis that identifies water use in

all stages of production and use. Conducting this analysis can

show you the impacts of the company’s water use, where water is

used the most, and will help you identify ways to conserve

water which can also save money for the business. Facilities can

use the ISO/CD 14046 standard (in development) on conducting a

water footprint analysis.
