SAME EMS Subcommittee Activities
Definition of an EMS An EMS is an organizational approach to
environmental management. The goal of incorporating environmental
considerations into day-to-day operations. An EMS provides a structured framework
specifically designed to achieve continual environmental improvement.
A Viable EMSTo succeed an EMS should be:
•Cost effective,•Economically viable,•In harmony with trade regulations,•Based on systems and performance,•Practical, usable and useful, and•Focused on continual improvement
General Principles
•An EMS serves the organization and its mission, not the reverse•EMS is a process, not an event•An EMS is the people & their actions, not the words & aspirations •Improvement rests on changing attitudes & behaviors
•“Want to, not have to”•Start at the top, implement throughout

Objectives and Targets1. Reduce waste and pollution. a. Divert 60% of solid waste from landfills by 2010. b. Reduce hazardous waste by 25% by 2010 compared to 2005 baseline c. Eliminate mercury from noncritical processes by 2009.2. Reduce consumption of natural resources. a. Achieve 100% participation for recycled content on all paper-based office supplies by the end of FY 2007. b. Meet all green component standards of the Federal Electronics Challenge by FY 2009. c. Reduce petroleum usage by 20% in vehicle fleet by FY 2008. 3. Minimize infrastructure construction and development impacts. a. Design 100% of capital and renovation projects in accordance with sustainable
standards b. Reduce energy consumption by 35% per gross ft2 of non-laboratory facilities
and 25% for laboratories c. Increase renewable energy by 2.5% for facility electricity use

CDC Environmental Quality Council
Consists of representatives throughout CDC Standard Agenda
Review Compliance Status Review One Env Objective Main presentation of CDC Env Program Announcements/Crossfeed
Management Review Process
Take account of:• audit findings• progress records on objectives changes to facilities• changes in activities, products or services• changes in technology• concerns of interested parties• other relevant information
To Assess the• suitability,• adequacy, and• effectiveness of the EMS
In order to determine the need for change and improvement to:• the environmental policy• the objectives and targets• other elements of the EMS
Management Reviews initiated by EQC as necessary (every 3 years?)
CDC Status:
Continual Improvement Finalizing approx 30 CEPs (SOPs) Identifying training requirements Evaluating Aspects/Impacts of Activities Continual Improvement with Env
Objectives/Targets
EMS Conclusions
Continual Improvement is Key Once components are in place,
focus in on Env Objectives and Targets
Work Plan Objectives Supported by EMS Subcom
Goal #3: Embed env sessions in programs and conferences.
Goal #4: Interact and share info.
Goal #5: Foster a sustainability ethic.
EMS Subcommittee Goals EMS Presenters 2x year for SAME Env Affairs
Meetings Provide information sharing for EMS resources EMS presenters during regional and national
Conference
