Turning Green into Gold! - Eco-mapping and the European experience
Heinz Werner-Engel, founder of EcoMapping and director of Eco Counselling Australia Pacific (ECAP) and one of seven winners for the European Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) Awards, for excellence in environmental management. Recently addressed Kilburn & Gepps Cross Industry Group at Korvest Ltd on how Europe is leading the way on environmental issues and its potential impact on Australian businesses.
Heinz has developed a simple way of creating your own Environmental Management System (EMS) which helps you reduce water, energy and waste costs. It uses a very simple set of hand-drawn maps called "Eco-maps".
The freeware system has been created and used by Heinz-Werner Engel in Europe and is creating significant interest here in SA. This is due to its simplicity, flexiblity and staff involvement. While the Ecomapping process can incorporate OHS&E and risk management, it can be expanded into a more sophisticated EMS to meet ISO 14001.
Healso talked about EMAS III - the new European standard that is going to be trialled here in SA and is looking for leading companies...are you interested?
Mr Alexander Kachellek, Managing Director for Korvest Ltd is very interested in putting the system into Korvest. Mr Kachellek is also the Chairman for the Kilburn & Gepps Cross Industry Association, which has shown considerable support and praised the work being done.
