Abstract:

The impact of industrial organizations on the environment during recent decades is clearly evident. Due to it all over the world, many enterprises are putting all their efforts into seeking environment management such as using instruments that reduce negative impact on the environment along with improving economic efficiency. The ability to manage its environment performance is emerging as a strategic issue for many companies, globally. In order to address the impact of companies International Organization for Standardization (ISO), introduced the ISO-14000 series of environment management system (EMS). EMS in an industry can be achieved by reducing the pollutants at source level itself, good housekeeping, recycling, raw material change and product modification etc. The goal of this paper is to study the procedure adopted by an organization to get certified for ISO 14001 standards of EMS. The various environmental legislative, operational and management procedure considered for the study. It examines the perceived benefits of having ISO 14001 for certified firms. According to the results of analysis, the organization is effectively complying with ISO 14001 standards of EMS.

Abstract:

ISO’s standards have been applied not only by the manufacturing industries but also universities as well as research institutions. Three ISO standards are commonly applied: ISO 9001, ISO 17025, and ISO 14001. Although these three standards have differences in the purpose, criteria, and emphasis, these standards can be applied side-by-side by an organization. Eventhough, many questions arise when the organization undertake more than one ISO. These questions, for examples, are: Is it not enough possessing just one ISO, for example ISO 9000 series only? What is the relation between one ISO to another? What is the relation between ISO and the existing regulations? Following the ISO system there is an internal affair in the institution that maintains and manages the quality system according to ISO, for example ISO 14000, environmental management standards. On the other hand, there is a research group in the institution that performs technical services for environmental laboratory testing and environmental research and studies. What are actually the difference functions between these two activities? This paper tries to conduct study in order to give answers for those particular questions. This paper is neither intended for describing ISO in details nor for tutorial purposes. Either comprehensive training or implementing ISO is conducted by a special authorized agency.

Abstract:

Environmental and human safety regulations are now an inevitable part of horticultural crop production. For most businesses, worker training and the subsequent collection and administration of data required for reporting purposes is often regarded as an economic burden. There are few systematic models that firstly provide an ecompassing approach to this business requirement, but more importantly which provide resources that simplify and perhaps automate the reporting of data to any significant degree. A good environmental management system (EMS) should provide a framework to systematically plan, control, measure and improve an organization's environmental performance and assessment. Significant environmental improvements (and cost savings) can be achieved by assessing and improving management and production processes, but only if the data are collected and analyzed quickly and easily. Many times, growers do not realize the relationship between their improved environmental performance and other key EMS benefits, such as reduced liability, better credit ratings, enhanced employee performance, improved customer relations, marketing advantages together with improved regulatory compliance. The International organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 series is the most widely accepted international standard for EMS. Growers in most states in the US are required to document their use of pesticides and other agrochemicals that can impact human health, and in some states are also required to to document and monitor their applications of water and nutrients, in an effort to environmental pollution. This paper will illustrate the key elements of environmental management systems and how this can be integrated into production management using process management software.

Abstract:

To change the negative effect of traffic increase and to diminish noxious pollutant emission and environmentally harmful consequences of the car's life cycle, innovative tools and radically changed approaches are needed. The present proposal of assessing the car and its environmentally related technological and functional factors as part of the entire mobility production process shows the applicability of ISO 14001 standards to the entire car process and could be a concrete aid to reaching the current European and international objectives and strongly encouraging environmentally friendly car design, manufacturing and lifestyles. The car influences the environment during every stage of its life cycle. This paper analyses and demonstrates the real possibility of certifying, through ISO 14001 standards, instead of an industrial site or organization, a car process. The car process is the part of the mobility production process implemented in car use. Environmental management systems (EMSs) have been developed to improve the environmental performance of organizations towards the diffusion of sustainability in industrial production. The ISO 14000 series of international standards are the most important reference for eco-management of any type of organization. The two target groups involved in the car process environmental certification procedures set are manufacturers/suppliers on the one hand, interested in environmentally compatible new markets and products, and clients/users on the other hand, interested in testing benefits and problems of the EMS set-up and general environmental sustainability behaviours. The car model analysed for the case study application is the Toyota Prius, from the environmental point of view one of the best on the market, precursor model of the next-generation electric hybrid vehicles.

Abstract:

Leading edge companies throughout the world have embraced management systems to achieve optimal sustainable performance in the ever changing business environment of the 1990s.Given that the natural environment and environmental performance have become one of the major issues affecting organisations, the need for integrating environmental management with all the other components of an organisation's overall management approach is now widely recognised.Systems interface best with systems. For environmental management to interface effectively with an organisation's other management systems, a systems approach to environmental management would seem the best. The release in November last year of the draft international standards (ISO 14000 series) on environmental management systems (EMS) has provided organisations with an internationally recognised means for this to occur and provided an additional benchmarking tool.It follows that environmental regulatory systems are required to enable regulators to effectively interface with company EMSs. Regulatory theory suggests that outcomes-based approaches are preferable to prescriptive approaches. Those parts of EMS standards which detail the requirements for particular system elements could provide the nexus for the company, regulator and community in future co-regulatory frameworks.These EMS standards refer to both regulators and the community as 'Interested Parties' being either 'concerned with or affected by the environmental performance of an organisation'.The Interim EMS specifications standard, released in Australia and New Zealand as AS/NZS ISO 14001(Int):1995 refers to 'Interested Parties' in only two EMS elements, 'Objectives and Targets' and 'Communication'. It is here that there are potential benefits and opportunities for companies, regulators and the community to cooperate in the emerging climate of these new international standards.

Abstract:

Power plants use burning processes with a heavy environmental impact. Traditional design models aim to optimize economic and thermodynamic performances. Owing to the new sensitivity arising towards the environment, power generation design must respect the environment. Today no standardized design criteria exist; the present work aims to elaborate a specific methodology for power plants consisting of a predictive instrument (the Environmental Impact Evaluation), a management tool (the Environmental Management System), and a series of environmental studies and checks. After showing the methodology, the authors tested it with an application to a real scenario: the heat and electrical power needs of a pharmaceutical firm. Cogeneration seemed to be the best available technology from an economic and environmental point of view. In the proposed case study, all possible impacts have been quantified verifying legislative standards and accomplishing the ISO 14000.

Abstract:

The article substantiates the relationship between environmental safety and energy efficiency – as the main components on the way to sustainable development of society. The existing approaches to defining the essence of environmental safety are considered, its characteristic features are detailed, the basic practical principles of its provision are substantiated, and promising directions for the further development of the international environmental safety system are shown. The general scheme of the organization of the ecological safety system in the normal state of the environment is presented, which should be based on three components: control, regulation and implementation of safety measures. It is shown that maximum efforts should be directed to making management decisions based on the analysis of existing risks and forecasting new potential threats, which are an integral part of human activity. An important stage in a productive management system is the use of the best available technologies, which does not require strict regulation of activities and provides the freedom to choose ways to achieve this goal, based on the latest technological and technological solutions. organizational developments and their successful combination. Competitive advantages and a number of disadvantages from the introduction of an environmental management system at an enterprise, in particular in the energy sector, have been substantiated. The article presents the main laws of Ukraine in the field of environmental safety, as well as the state standards of Ukraine in the series of international standard ISO 14000. The main stages of management in the field of environmental safety, based on the Shuhard-Deming cycle, are summarized and presented in the model of the environmental safety management standard DSTU ISO 14001:2015.

Abstract:

This study mainly focused on exploring the roles of standardisation and quality infrastructure systems in aiding trade and sustainable development within the African continental free trade area. This is a conceptual study. It was established that facilitating trade and sustainable development lead to attaining economic growth of any developing country. Several factors are involved in facilitating trade and sustainable development, including quality infrastructure and standardisation. These two factors foster free trade area establishment by eliminating trade barriers within the African countries. The factors can also assist speeding up the delivery time, reducing goods rejection at crossing borders, environmental protection by adhering to the ISO 14000 series of standards, add competitive advantages and many more. Despite all these benefits, African countries still are challenged regarding effective metrology institutes. To be able to foster a free trade area within African countries, each country needs to establish an influential metrology institute for carrying out all metrological activities which would provide assurance and global recognition to their products and services.

Abstract:

Abstract Problems related to work safety have been accompanying humanity since the dawn of time. In times before the Industrial Revolution, human and animal muscle strength was used to work, and “safe work” solutions were developed and introduced individually by the user or supervising the work. Only a change in the way work was done due to the industrial revolution, the introduction of new energy sources, the transformation of manufactories into factories and the birth of the working class brought about greater, concrete changes. It was at that time that various machines and devices began to be introduced into the workplace, which on the one hand improved work and on the other hand created more and more potentially dangerous situations. Security was started holistically and institutionally. With the transformation and return of capitalism, the subject of real work safety returned. Health and safety was to be not only a fashionable slogan, but a value that was supposed to guarantee profit – in accordance with the principle that accidents reduce productivity. It was also connected with the process of adapting Polish law in the field of health and safety to the law of the European Union (EU), which resulted from Poland’s pursuit of EU membership. Moreover, an important factor initiating these changes was the interest of enterprises in quality management systems compliant with the ISO 9000 series and environmental management systems compliant with the ISO 14000 series, and related attempts to adapt the system management concept to the area of occupational health and safety, resulting in PN-N standards 18000 series. This publication analyzes the new standard PN-ISO 45001:2018 – “Occupational health and safety management systems – Requirements with guidance for use” comparing it with the standard PN-N 18001:2004 – “Occupational health and safety management. Requirements”.

Eco-labels are born and take force for the production and marketing of products since the 1970s because of the need to seek a balance between human activities and the environment. Certification ensures, in a way, that the socio-cultural impact is not consumers could recognize a company that was doing good actions in favor of the environment and companies, through the labels, for the segment of the “green” consumer market and in this way expand their offer; For these reasons the ISO 14000 of environmental standards are based, in which, are the series of norms that regulate the environmental labeling. The climate problem is an issue that affects the whole population and it is time to carry out activities that reward the environment with part of the benefits and resources that are taken, for this reason eco-labels in a mechanism where you can make designs, recycling and Assemblies to different products with the green seal that is natural and does not affect the ecosystem and in this way make the people who consume these products see the opportunity to care for the environment in a continuous way in the day to day.

Abstract On the analysis basis of Ukraine fuel and energy complex priority problems, the key role of the introduction of international standards ISO 14000, ISO 9000 series and HSE policy to create conditions for the prevention of technological effects on environmental components and the formation of prerequisites for a safe environment, both for personnel and for the population of the surrounding territories, are determined. Deterioration of natural resources quality and ecosystems degradation and possible levels of natural environments pollution are used as parameters for environmental risk assessing in the conditions of the fuel and energy complex operation. The concept of environmental risk management in this field is presented. The biomonitoring uses to assess the factors influence of the industry enterprises is proposed. Biomonitoring of the territory around the Burshtyn thermal power plant is carried out, taxonomic characteristics of phytoobjects are given, and the indicative prospects of plants, their diversity and classes of permanence are evaluated. A literature analysis is carried out regarding the convenience, ease of use and phytoindicative suitability of plants under the conditions of the man-made environment complex impact. The highest species representativeness in Asteraceae family, represented by 17 species, Fabaceae and Poaceae – by 5 plant species, is established within the study area. The highest phytoindicative potential of Cichorium intybus L. and Achillea millefolium L. under the influence of Burshtyn thermal power station is revealed, which indicates the possibility of effective use of these plants as sensitive monitors of the fuel and energy complex enterprises ecological state.

Abstract:

The built asset industry impacts our global environment significantly, contributing notably to environmental degradation. Various sustainability standards and certifications, such as LEED, DGNB, BREEAM, ISO 14001, and GRI 200 series, have been established to guide the industry toward sustainable practices. Despite their intended purpose, the diversity of these systems has led to a complex and inconsistent landscape. This paper undertakes a review of 25 certifications and 26 standards in the built asset industry, identifying and analyzing gaps and discrepancies in their measuring indicators. Using a rigorous process, we consolidated the diverse measuring indicators from each scheme into a list of 189 specific indicators, for comparative analysis. This analysis revealed notable gaps and inconsistencies within these schemes, illuminating differences in their emphasis and coverage of sustainability indicators. These findings highlight the need for increased standardization and inclusiveness in sustainability assessments within the industry. This study contributes to the discourse on industry standardization, policy decisions, sector transparency, and further research, marking a crucial step towards a more integrated approach to sustainability in the built asset industry. Keywords: Sustainability, built asset industry, Sustainability standards, Green Building Certification

Abstract:

This paper reviews the ISO 14000 standards, especially the standards on environmental management, life cycle assessment and environmental performance evaluation. It presents examples of how ISO 14000 was implemented in Norwegian shipping and shipbuilding. These examples are the results from a research program in which four shipyards and one shipping company in Norway collaborated with the research foundation More Research. The holistic view and life cycle approach were essential to this research program. The environmental effects related to construction, operation and maintenance of ships were evaluated, and the results were presented by means of environmental performance indicators. The indicators were placed in a three-tier informational structure. Finally, it was demonstrated how the use of ISO 14000 as a complement to ISM can focus the shipping companies ' strategic efforts on areas which may yield the biggest economic returns for the future.

Abstract:

PurposeISO 9000 and ISO 14000 standards certification is a phenomenon involving over the years a larger and larger number of companies and organizations. Looking at the empirical data, it is observed that the phenomenon is close to saturation in many countries. In Italy, on the other hand, there is an important increase in the number of certifications. The purpose of this paper is to pick out the different components and aspects which make Italian dynamics so particular.Design/methodology/approachIn order to do that the single commodity sector was analyzed, studying certifications diffusion in terms of certified sites. With the aim of specializing the analysis within commodity sectors, this information has been compared with the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) percentage expressed by each sector.FindingThe analysis shows that ISO certifications diffusion followed different dynamics depending on the commodity sectors. These reacted in different ways to the discontinuity of 2003, the year in which ISO 9000 standards changed from the 1994 to the 2000 version.Research limitations/implicationsFuture research efforts will be directed at an in‐depth analysis of the differences between ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 certified and analogous non‐certified firms. This analysis will be performed using performance indices such as the number of employees, the profitability, the volume of business, etc.Originality/valueThe paper analyzes the dynamic of ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 certification diffusion in Italy in different commodity sectors. The term of comparison is given by the contribution given by each sector to the GDP.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to build upon the conceptual model developed by Feldman et al. (1997) that demonstrated a link between improved environmental performance and increased market value for publicly traded corporations. ISO 14000 standards, not yet established at the time of their study, provide the framework for a strategic approach to environmental management with an emphasis on continuous quality improvement. Consequently, ISO 14000 certification is used as the basis for creating an investment portfolio of publicly traded companies. While previous research has examined short-term stock market reactions to ISO 14000 certification, this study evaluates the longer term impact on shareholder value by comparing the ISO portfolio’s performance against other funds. It adds to the existing literature on the “pay to be green” question. Design/methodology/approach – The successful attainment of ISO 14000 certification is used as the basis for developing a portfolio that is followed over time in order to examine its value to shareholders. The portfolio consists of companies certified between 1996 and 2006, each added to the portfolio the month after its announced ISO 14000 certification date. The study covers the period from October 1996 through April 2011. Average monthly returns and standard deviations for a buy-and-hold strategy over various rolling periods (three, five, seven and ten year) are used to compare the ISO 14000 portfolio against the S&P 500 Index. In addition, the growth of an initial investment of $100,000 is tracked to compare the ISO 14000 portfolio against the S&P 500 Index and three other funds that are socially responsible and/or green (Domini Social Equity Fund (DSEFX), Winslow Green Growth Investment, and iShares KLD 400 Social Index). Findings – The ISO 14000 portfolio outperformed the S&P 500 Index as well as selected socially responsible and/or green funds in the growth of an initial investment over time. It also consistently provided higher average monthly returns (along with higher standard deviations) than the S&P 500 Index when using a buy-and-hold investment strategy over all rolling periods considered. Moreover, monthly returns for the ISO 14000 portfolio were found to be significantly higher, at the 0.05 level, than for those of the S&P 500 Index and the DSEFX. Research limitations/implications – Companies that attained ISO 14000 certification after 2006 were not included in the portfolio due to the inability to obtain a complete listing after that time. Furthermore, causality cannot be established by analyzing fund performance. Nonetheless, ISO 14000 certification as the basis for creating an investment portfolio appears to be a strategy that pays off in the long term. Originality/value – This paper fills a gap in the literature by examining longer term market reactions to ISO 14000 certification. The methodology employed has not been used in this context, although it has been used to examine the impact of ISO 9000 certification on stock prices. The findings support the argument that improved environmental performance is valued by the market and may provide long-term value for shareholders.

Abstract:

An important component of the image of a modern enterprise is the quality and environmental friendliness of products. International standard ISO 14001:2015 specifies requirements for an environmental management system that an organization can use to improve the environmental performance of its activities. The spread of the application of ISO 14000 standards in Russian enterprises is hampered by a number of problems: improper planning of the development and implementation of the quality management system, low involvement of the company's management and personnel in the development and implementation of the quality management system. The implementation of ISO 14000 standards in livestock organizations is possible if the criteria are met: the land plot is removed from large cities and industrial zones, the livestock of farm animals meets the standards, the size of the land plot meets the standards for keeping farm animals. It is advisable to organize a quality management system department in the organizational structure of the SRO "Association of Peasant (Farm) Farms and Agricultural Cooperatives of the Perm Territory" for comprehensive support and coordination of the activities of agricultural organizations in the region.

Abstract:

Today, environmental pollution is a global problem. Industrialization, rapid urbanization, technological advances, economic developments and increasing world population have brought environmental pollution with them. Environmental pollution has reached a level that threatens human health and safety. Environmental management systems are useful and important in many ways such as reducing the negative effects of businesses on the environment, creating a safe working environment, preventing pollution, reducing costs, reducing risks, improving environmental performance, and improving corporate image. The aim of this study is to emphasize the importance of ISO 14000 environmental management system standards for sustainable development and environment in business. In this direction, the study explains sustainable development, sustainable environment, the characteristics, importance, development, stages, standards and benefits of the ISO 14000 environmental management system for businesses.

Abstract:

It has been increasingly recognised that construction activity imposes external costs to the environment. This paper aims to review the benefits and major problems in the implementation of ISO 14000 EMS in the Hong Kong construction industry. This study surveyed major construction firms in Hong Kong to uncover the hindrance factors contributing to the low adoption of ISO 14000. Based on the findings, this paper identifies and ranks the perceived order which hinders the construction firms' adoption of ISO 14000. The case study in Hong Kong serves as a reference point for understanding the problems in the implementation of ISO 14000 in other countries. Specifically, this study found that the four major obstacles to ISO 14000 implementation are: lack of government pressure; lack of client requirement/supports; expensive implementation cost; and sub-contracting systems, which create difficulties in managing the EMS. Since the government is a very dominant client, the extent to which the Government wishes to restrict its choice of tenderer to those firms that have an environmental management system in place, will demonstrate its commitment to environmentally responsible operations. The public sector clients play a critical role in driving the construction industry to improve its operations through contractual requirements. Education of the end-users is also important to create market demand for environmentally friendly construction. To an extent, professional institutions and other industry bodies can help to instill a greater sense of accountability among industry participants by stipulating acceptable standards of behaviour and establishing a supportive regulatory framework.

Abstract:

During last several years sustainable development became a very actual topic in the world. For the first, the concept has been applied in the area of enviromental protection but gradually was spread to other areas of social life. Awareness of need to resolve problems significant for the Planet survival caused that officials on the World Summit in New York in 2015. agreed upon the 17 global sustainable development goals. One of the goals, goal No 13 is related to Climate actions. In this paper, topic related to climate changes is considered from the point of view of management system standards from family ISO 14000. In addition to the basic standard for environmental protection ISO 14001 it covers standards ISO 14064-1 related to Greenhouse gases emission, ISO 14067 related to carbon footprint of products, ISO 14080 which contains methodology on climate changes as well as ISO Guide 84 that represents guidelines for addressing climate changes in ISO standards. Finally, a short review of actual status of fulfillment of goal No. 13 in Serbia is given.

Abstract:

What is the impact on perceptions of legitimacy and efficacy when key stake-holders are absent during the creation of international standards? Can these international standards setting bodies adequately address the needs of all countries when often working in the absence of developing countries? This study examines the process through which one international environmental management standard (ISO 14001) was created and analyzes its perceived legitimacy and efficacy among developing country stakeholders relative to those from developed countries. Data for this project come from interviews with 42 delegates to the ISO 14000 standards-drafting sessions in Malaysia and 133 surveys of ISO 14001 certified firms in 16 countries. The article concludes that stakeholder absence impacts both legitimacy and efficacy of ISO 14001 in interesting and unexpected ways.

Abstract:

The ISO 14000 and ISO 9000 standards have a positive impact on achieving sustainable and efficient business. The ISO 14001, in particular, is credited with a crucial role of assisting businesses with managing their environmental credentials which are vital in the upcoming carbon economy. This paper explores the significance of ISO 14001 and expands on the possibilities of the use of this standard in a creative way by organizations. Furthermore, with regards to ISO 14001, adjustments could be made to improve its effectiveness in implementing an Environmental Management System (EMS). The areas of this standard that could be upgraded are also outlined, including measuring compliance, specified, strict environmental targets for business, and a stronger sustainability component.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to compare the financial performance and stock performance of companies with and without ISO series certifications. In this study, EVA (Economic Value Added) and financial ratios, particularly Debt to Equity, Return on Equity, and Return on Assets, reflect financial performance, while anomalous returns represent stock performance. This study utilizes data from 2011 to 2019 firm reports that have acquired ISO 9000 and 14000 series certification. The results indicate that organizations with ISO series certification and those without certification are comparable. There is no substantial difference between the EVA and ROE ratios' financial performance. Nevertheless, the DER and ROA financial performance ratios differ significantly. Moreover, there are considerable discrepancies between ISO corporations and non-ISO companies in terms of stock performance. The conclusion of the study is that there is no significant difference between the performance of companies that receive ISO certification and those that do not, as a result of insufficient research time, the fact that non-ISO companies already have good marketing management, and the lack of continued ISO implementation in companies that already have ISO certification.

Abstract:

Implementing an Environmental Management System (EMS) has become an effective mechanism to address environmental problems of an organization and direct its activities to achieve the goals of ·sustainable development. .After realizing its effectiveness in the developed countries and in the private enterprises, the developing countries as well as public institutions are showing inclination to adapt environmental management systems. Some local authorities in developed countries have shown significant achievements by implementing EMS based on ISO 14000 series. Some other local authorities have made similar achievements by implementing their own EMS without any accreditation and external auditing. This paper first discusses the benefits of installing EMS in local authorities and then presents the fmdings of multiple case studies conducted in two local authorities in Japan and Thailand where EMSs based on ISO 14000 have been implemented and later continued with self-man&gement without involving ISO. The paper reiterates that implementing of EMS in local authorities in developing countries is practical and useful even without the accreditation of ISO. Involvement of professional bodies and senior citizens is suggested as an alternative to external verification of EMS performance.

Abstract:

Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is essential to the success and continued operation of organizations, and it directly impacts business performance. Good BCP helps institutions prepare for unexpected disasters and crises, enabling them to continue operations in the event of such incidents. BCP plays a critical role in the performance and success of organizations. By establishing a robust BCP, organizations can minimize disruptions, ensure continued operations, and protect their long-term interests, contributing to better business performance. Some of the standards and frameworks that can be leveraged to deliver an effective BCMS are ISO 22301, ISO 27001, COBIT, ISO 31000, ISO 14000, ISO 20000, and ISO 9001. The research design was a qualitative case study. Managers in some Kenyan organizations lack strategies to design and implement suitable, adequate, and effective BCMSs. There is a positive relationship between an effective BCMS and organizational performance.

Abstract:

Abstract Environmental sustainability and its achievement at the national level is one of the key strategic development goals for most countries who are the largest environmental pollutants. Environmental sustainability implies the maximum possible reduction of negative environmental impact through the development of green energy, the increase in energy efficiency, the rational use of natural resources, the introduction of the principles of circular economy and increasing public awareness of environmental protection and climate conservation. There are many administrative tools to encourage enterprises worldwide to switch to a more environmentally friendly direction of its operating and development, among which is the introduction of international standards and subsequent certification of the enterprises. In addition to such obvious advantages as the introduction of effective environmental management systems, compliance with requirements in the field of environmental audit and monitoring, certification allows to increase credibility in the face of consumers and partners that leads to a favorable reputational effect. The objective of this study is to review and analyze the family ISO 14000 standards and assess their role in achieving environmental sustainability of enterprises. The authors determined the degree of influence of groups of standards on the achievement of environmental sustainability and identified their benefits and drawbacks.

Abstract:

An analysis of international publications revealed a growing interest in all aspects of quality in medical care, especially in the definition of the concept of quality in healthcare. In the world community, the following approaches to quality management are widely used: the Total Quality Control (TQC); Total Quality Management (TQM), which includes Quality Assurance and Quality Improvement; Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI); Lean management, including Hoshin Kanri's policy and PDCA's Deming - Shuhart Cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Act). Practical implementation of the principles of General Quality Management (TQM) and Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is based on the models of business improvement in quality management: the EFQM (European Foundation for Quality Management) model, the MBQA (Malcolm Baldrige Quality Award) model and the Chronic Care Model. In management ofmedical organizations, the International standards for services perfection are more often used, which use the experience of quality assurance, as well as the international systems and standards: JCI, ISO 9001, IWA1, ISO 15189, ISO 14000, OHSAS 18001. The ISO interstate standards represent the international consensus of world practice in quality management. Nowadays, medical organizations use the following standards: SRPS ISO 9001: 2015, SRPS EN 15224: 2017, SRPS EN ISO 15189: 2014, SRPS EN ISO 13485: 2017, IWA 1: 2005. In the period of globalization of the world economy and healthcare, the best international practices should form the basis for improving domestic health care in medical care quality management.

The Handbook of Hawkins and his team (2017) explores the potential relations between standards and innovation and try to understand where both coincides to create more sustained economy. Both the editors and the authors in different chapters try to see first how standards function and then try to see how innovation might benefit from this comparatively. Then some of the chapters try to see whether standards have some evolutionary economics built in them, similar to the environmental standard ISO 14000. The handbook is considered to be one of the early attempts to build a holistic view of this relation through a strong literature review.

Abstract:

All over the world, businesses have started moving towards Quality Assurance and the adoption of ISO 9000 Standards. In this study, we examined the status of the Quality Assurance Certification of companies which operate in the mining sector in Greece. It is certain that the companies have started working towards Quality Management and Quality Assurance Certification. The movement towards Quality Assurance is customer driven. The specific motives for implementing Quality Assurance Certification were customer satisfaction, to gain a competitive advantage and improve business efficiency. They anticipate a better business image, to increase customer satisfaction and strengthen their market share. The level of criticism for some aspects of the ISO 9000 certification, which has been recorded in other parts of the world, was not found in Greece. Following the introduction of ISO 9000, some mining companies also included in their strategy the introduction of ISO 14000 which relates to Environmental Management Systems.
