ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We, the students of MBA 1st Semester, Section-B, would like to sincerely extend a

warm note of thanks and heartfelt gratitude for the concerned guidance of the

professor in charge, Prof. Yogesh Jadhav, during the development of this

assignment, thus leading to its successful completion. Any report contains for more

contribution to the elucidation to the work done than those made by the authors

alone. Our work is also no exception. But we do extend our heart- felt gratitude to our

report guides for being the rich resource full of motivation and support juncture. An

idea needs to properly incubated so us to make sure mature upend acquire tangible

form. The quality of environment is indispensable for sustaining the objectives & we

are highly fortunate to have a right atmosphere in our group to work flexibly.

Environmental management standards (ISO 14000)

ISO standards that provide requirements or give guidance on good management practice are among the best known of ISO's offering.

ISO 14000 is actually a SERIES of international standards on environmental management. It provides a framework for the development of both the system and the supporting audit program.

Environmental Management System or EMS. On the international scene we will shortly have ISO14001. This standard is expected to be issued during 1996, and forms part of the ISO14000 series of standards providing not only a specification but guidance and advice on a wide range of environmental issues including auditing, labelling, life-cycle assessment etc.

The History of ISO 14000 

As a number of national standards emerged (BS 7750 being the first), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) created a group to investigate how such standards might benefit business and industry. As a result this group recommended that an ISO committee be created to create an international standard.

ISO 14001

ISO 14001 is the corner stone standard of the ISO 14000 series. It specifies a framework of control for an Environmental Management System against which an organization can be certified by a third party.

Other ISO14000 Series Standards 

Other standards in the series are actually guidelines, many to help you achieve registration to ISO 14001. These include the following: 

ISO 14004 provides guidance on the development and implementation of environmental management systems

ISO 14010 provides general principles of environmental auditing (now superseded by ISO 19011)

ISO 14011 provides specific guidance on audit an environmental management system (now superseded by ISO 19011)

ISO 14012 provides guidance on qualification criteria for environmental auditors and lead auditors (now superseded by ISO 19011)

ISO 14013/5 provides audit program review and assessment material.

ISO 14020+ labeling issues

ISO 14030+ provides guidance on performance targets and monitoring within an Environmental Management System

ISO 14040+ covers life cycle issues

Of all these, ISO14001 is not only the most well known, but is the only ISO 14000 standard against which it is currently possible to be certified by an external certificate.

Environmental Policies & Steps:

We at Godrej Tool Room, are committed to the sustainable development and continual improvement in our environmental performance, in respect of our activities

We at Godrej Tool Room, are committed to the sustainable development and continual improvement in our environmental performance, in respect of our activities he CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre building is one of just three in the world to win the highly coveted Platinum Rating from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. It is an inspiring story of courage, leadership and enterprise.

In a burdened, polluted world, green has become the colour of hope — enshrined in the Green Business Centre planned jointly by the Confederation of Indian Industry, the house of Godrej, the Government of Andhra Pradesh with the technical support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Appropriately named the CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre, it was launched in March 2000 during the then U.S. President Bill Clinton’s visit to India, in the presence of N. Chandrababu Naidu, Chief Minister, Government of Andhra Pradesh, with Vidyadher Rao, Minister for Major Industries in the Government of Andhra Pradesh, performing the Bhoomi Pooja.

The concept is a lofty one — to make the world a better place to live in by providing world-class green services, promoting green concepts, leading to higher efficiency, equitable growth and sustainable development — in short, developing a Centre of Excellence in energy, environment, water, renewable energy and climate change activities in India. This concept has been concretised in the green building, which has come up at Madhapur village in Cyberabad. And, fittingly, the building has already received the highly coveted Platinum Rating by the USGBC under the LEED 2.0 rating system, becoming the first building in the world to obtain this rating under version 2.0 of the LEED rating system

This rating was not easily achieved. The criteria are extremely strict — proper design, use of eco-friendly material, use of recyclable material, orientation of the building to utilise maximum natural lighting, the use of photovoltaic cells. In addition, the LEED criteria insist on procurement of material from sources that are within less than 500 km. radius from the site centre. This is because even if eco-friendly materials are used, transporting them over a long distance damages the environment. Again, a certain percentage of the building material has to be from recycled waste. Cement, for example, has to be made with fly-ash, which is a recycled product. More significantly, the CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre has been

designed from the very start with the Platinum Rating in mind even before the foundation stone was laid.

The Platinum Rating is achieved according to a rising scale of points. A LEED certified building has to gather 26 to 32 points. A LEED certified silver-level building has to achieve 33 to 38 points. A LEED certified gold-level building has to achieve 39 to 51 points and platinum-level as many as 52 points and more.

Tarun Das, Director-General, CII, and Jamshyd Godrej, Chairman and Managing Director, Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd. and Past President of CII, are the main driving forces behind this achievement.

Judging by the detailed schedule the Centre has set out for itself, it appears to be determined to live up to its proud rating. The Centre has enlarged the very meaning of “green” to cover the voluntary pursuit of any activity which encompasses concern for energy efficiency, the environment, water conservation, the use of recycled and recyclable products and renewable energy. In confirmation of this high purpose, the Centre plans services as listed below:

World-class Energy Efficiency: To facilitate industry to achieve the lowest Specific Energy Consumption levels in the world, by implementing world-class practices and technologies. Facilitation tools include energy audits, benchmarking with international norms and identification of ways and means to achieve the same.

Green Building Rating: The Centre will facilitate construction of “Green Buildings” and recognition through the LEED “Green Building” rating system of USGBC.

Green Audits: To focus on the root cause of inefficiency instead of focusing on mere treatment and compliance. This, in turn presents an opportunity for better utilisation of resources (raw materials, consumables, water, energy, etc.) at every stage of the manufacturing process.

Technology Centre: To act as a platform to showcase and demonstrate innovative ‘green’ products and technologies. The centre is open to business visitors from India and abroad, which will facilitate greater visibility and market access to the participants.

Information Centre: To provide access to the latest information and trends on ‘green concepts and technologies’.

Green Business Incubation Services: To facilitate the handholding of entrepreneurs to develop green products and technologies till they reach the

stage of commercialisation.All the services provided by the centre are guided by councils made up of experts in the relevant fields.

A WEALTH OF GREENIt is rewarding to learn how the CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre incorporates so many green features, which include:

Facilities: Facility for charging electric automobiles and electric pool car facility for building occupants; site location close to bus and rail lines; open space in the site exceeds the local requirements by more than 25 per cent; and all paved parking and pathways are constructed with pervious materials.

Water Efficiency: Rain water harvesting; recycling of 100 per cent grey water; roof gardens covering over 60 per cent of roof area; and high efficiency drip irrigation.

Optimum Energy Efficiency: Air-conditioning systems designed in accordance with ASHRAE standards; solar path analysis and solar orientation to maximise north and south exposure and minimise east and west exposure; fenestration maximised on the north orientation to minimise heat gains from windows and to maximise day lighting; north-oriented glazing maximised; low-U glass glazings; lighting power densities reduced by 40 per cent using efficient lighting systems such as T-5 lamps, CFL, high-efficiency ballasts; daylight dimmer controls; water-cooled Scroll Chiller with COP of 4.23; efficient cooling tower; variable frequency drives all Air Handling Units; energy-efficient motors; state-of-the-art building management systems; and measurement and verification programmes to monitor energy and water savings.

Materials and Resources: Collection, storage and disposal of building waste like paper and plastics; recycling of construction waste material like shuttering timber, paint cans, cement bags, etc.; use of resources from other sites like structural steel (angle plate and hollow sections), doors, broken china mosaic pieces for flooring, GI pipe sleeves; use of fly-ash-based cement; use of fly-ash-based Aerocon blocks; and use of certified wood.

Indoor Environmental Quality: Declaration of the entire building as a “non-smoking” area; installation of carbon dioxide sensors to monitor indoor air quality; two-week building flush-out before occupancy; use of composite wood without urea formaldehyde; operable windows and lighting controls in perimeter occupied areas; and daylight and view for 90 per cent of regularly occupied areas.

CII’S ROLE IN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT ACTIVITIES

Energy Management Activities The Energy Management Cell (EMC) of CII was formed in 1989 with the objective of promoting energy efficiency in Indian industry and is now integrated with the CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre.

The Centre offers advisory services in achieving world-class energy efficiency in Indian industry.

The Centre has conducted 395 detailed energy audits in various industrial sectors. The audited units have so far achieved an annual recurring saving of Rs. 895 million.

In recognition of its outstanding contribution towards energy management, CII’s EMC has been awarded the “National Best Energy Auditor” Award for the fifth consecutive year (2001–2002) by the Petroleum Conservation Research Association under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Government of India

Environment Management DivisionThe Environment Management Division (EMD) of the Confederation of Indian Industry provides a wide range of services through an experienced team of well-trained professionals. The services include advice on environment policy, technical services, in-company and inter-company training programmes and information dissemination.

A pioneer in promoting the concepts of Pollution Prevention and Environment Management in India, the Division provides training and facilitates implementation of ISO 14001.

So far, the EMD has helped 200 Indian corporates in achieving ISO 14001 certification. The total number of companies certified to ISO 14001 in India is 400.

The EMD has also conducted over 450 training and awareness programmes on different subjects such as ISO 14001, Occupational Health and Safety, Hazardous Waste Management, Environmental Impact Assessment, Contaminated Site Assessment and Remediation.

CONCLUSION

After visiting the organization and the analyzing the secondary data,we have come to the conclusion that both the companies are doing well in order to protect the environment.
