&at is ems iso14001 The part of the overall management system that

includes organizational structure, planningactivities, responsibilities, practices, procedures,processes and resources for developing,implementing, achieving, reviewing andmaintaining the environmental policy.

ISO 14000 (specifically ISO 14001) describes oneformat/structure for the planning,implementation and checking of an EMS.

ISO 14000 actually composes a series of standards,developed by the International Organization forStandardization, and are voluntary, market-drivenstandards.

BM S EMS POLICY In 1997, IBM became the world's first major

multinational to have earned a singleworldwide registration to the ISO 14001Environmental Management System (EMS)

standard. The registration covered IBM'smanufacturing, product design andhardware development operations across itsbusiness units worldwide.

Even implementation became easier for IBMthan some companies may experience, sincewe have had a strong, centralized EMS inplace for over 25 years.

BM's EMSThe IBM EMS is essentially a two-tiered

system, with Corporate and the M&Dlocations each having the distinct roles.

planning CORPORATE defines the worldwide EMS requirements, sets

worldwide objectives and targets, measuresenvironmental performance, and communicatesprogress. It involves-

vSetting environmental policy

vDefining requirements of IBM's EMS

vDeveloping IBM WW environmental strategy.

vSetting Corporate level environmental objectives and

targets

vMeasuring environmental performance

vPerforming environmental affairs audits at locations

vCommunicating environmental affairs progress to

interested parties

IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS

1.CONDUCT A GLOBAL GAP ANALYSIS - This gap

analysis revealed that most IBM locationsalready had the "basics" of the elementsrequired by ISO 14001 in place, althoughsome areas of the system could beenhanced.

2.WORLDWIDE EMS MANUAL - The WorldwideEMS Manual defined the company's singleenvironmental policy and environmentalinstructions and practices as being core

elements of IBM's EMS3.COMMON SOLUTIONS were developed and

integrated into IBM's EMS to close anyremaining gaps to ISO 14001

Goal

Achieve Single Worldwide Registration to ISO14001 Covering IBM's Manufacturing andHardware Development Locations Across AllBusiness UnitsComplete registration audits at 30 Locations in 14

Countries Plus Corporate Environmental Affairs

WHY SINGLE WORLDWIDEREGISTRATION??

It Reinforces the Integration ofEnvironmental Considerations ThroughoutIBM's Business

It Positions IBM to be CompetitiveIt is Consistent with Our Quest for

Environmental Leadership

A Single Worldwide Registration is

Consistent with Our Long-standing EMSand it is the Most Efficient Approach


17/21

Checking and corrective analysis

ADVANTAGESAn Outstanding Way to Help Ensure We Execute

the Same EMS No Matter Where in the WorldWe Do Business.

Environment is Clearly Being Further IntegratedEMS is "System Dependent" rather than "Person

Dependent"

It Helps Drive Continual Improvement

Customer Inquiries are Handled Efficiently

"What gets measured gets managed.

Strengthening our Record of Leadership


18/21

CHALLENGES FACED

Significant Worldwide CoordinationRequired

Would be Very Difficult to Integrate

with Existing ISO 9000 RegistrationsSingle Registrar Expects a Well-

Structured, Mature, and ConsistentEMS at all IBM Locations -- Even thosethat are New in the Business

Continual Improvement Activities

Integration of functions traditionallynot thought of as having a majorenvironmental impact:

ProcurementTransportation and distribution

All on-site contractors

The list of significant aspects hasbeen expanded and objectives andtargets are being enhanced

Off-site suppliers are beingencouraged to implement and

register to ISO 14001IBM is working with the U.S.

Technical Advisory Group to TC

21/21

conclusion IBM is committed to doing business with

environmentally responsible suppliers and believesthat, not only can ISO 14001 help a company improveits environmental performance, it can help IBMselect suppliers who have the ability and the

commitment to protect the environment. Although ISO 14001 is not the only way to effectively

manage environmental affairs, and registration toISO 14001 does not itself guaranty outstandingenvironmental results, IBM's experience with thestandard has shown that it, in fact, has providedstrength and consistency to the overallenvironmental posture of the company.
