Executive Order (EO) 13148 (April 21, 2000) requires federal agencies to implement an Environmental Management System (EMS) that focuses on prevention of pollution by 31 December 2005. Consistent with this requirement, Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) has further directed Army installations to adopt and implement the internationally recognized environmental management system standard, ISO 14001, to improve the way environmental management supports the Army's mission. The importance of the Army's mission and Transformation demand a commitment to continual improvement in management practice to enhance Army's overall mission performance.
Corrpro has a team of experienced ISO14001 Auditors who are skilled engineers and environmental specialists. The Corrpro team has performed ISO14001 gap analyses, audits, training, and EMS implementation assistance at eleven Joint Munitions Command installations. Although the Executive Order mandate to implement ISO14001 has been met by the JMC installations with Corrpro's assistance, Corrpro continues to support the JMC in environmental management tasks related to ISO14001 system maintenance and by providing external audits of the systems at the installations.
Corrpro has also developed a PDA-based EMS Audit Tool for use by the JMC installations to establish consistency in audit expectations throughout the command and to provide for automation in audit report generation. This audit tool was rigorously field tested by experienced RAB-QSA Lead Auditors during actual registration audits.
Corrpro's ISO14001 implementation assistance team aids government agencies, businesses, and industry with their EMS needs.
