The Matthew’s article discussed that Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) are tools to assist organizations to meet their environmental goals and usually have a cycle of planning, implementation, review, and improvement as well as documented procedures and reports, training, and communication to help to meet regulatory compliance. The article also discussed some basic components of an EMS. I found an article relevant to our readings this week about Sysmex America, Inc. (www.sysmex.com/usa) who is a U.S. subsidiary for Sysmex Corporation, Kobe, Japan, a global leader in medical diagnostic testing equipment and information systems technology.
The article discussed how Sysmex recently received their ISO-14001 Environmental Management System Certification and some additional environmental protection initiatives.

Interesting article you posted. It is good to see private business attempting to make a dent into our climate change problem. Hopefully they can encourage business partners and those in their industry to follow suit and adopt some of their principles. In a positive light they are helping the environment, influencing others, and maybe even saving money. I also wonder how the costs associated with becoming a ISO-14001 by taking some of these actions will affect their business in a negative way?
