Objective
For over 40 small and medium-sized enterprises to achieve a lasting improvement in their environmental performance in a way which supports their commerical viability, builds their compentence in environemtal matters and is consistent with E.M.A.R. Reg No. 1836/93 and BS7750. The Project will demonstrate the action network process which could be similarly used throughout the Member States.
The project will establish three action networks for small and medium-sized enterprises with the smaller first network serving as a pilot for the subsequent two.
Each company joining an action network will be required to enrol three suppliers which are important to their business. The first network will consist of 2 companies with three supplier companies each, making a total of eight member companies. The subsequent networks will comprise a total of 16 or 17 companies each. On joining, a company will make a commitment to the network for a period of 18 months, to conduct a full environmental audit and to the publication of results.
The networks will be supported in intensive, typically one-day, practical training and development covering all the stages of BS7750/E.M.A.R. and building an effective environmental management capability. Up to 36 training days per company will be provided, most of which will be hands-on work for the member companies. The network will also provide a forum for addressing issues that arise and especially for building environmental improvements into the supply chain.
There will a rigorous diagnostic and auditing process so that the benefits of the action network approach can be clearly demonstrated. Details of the process employed and the results achieved will be widely published and others encourgaged to use this Project as a model in their own region or Member state.
