Measurement
Measurements drive behavior. Without measurement, we cannot achieve excellence. All our environmental operations worldwide are held at the same high standards and all levels of management are the leverage to our constant improvements. Periodical self-audits review Environmental Management System activities and monitor progress against objectives. Each site enters its results into the Environmental Database, which allows a comparison of environmental indicators, site by site. Internal benchmarking and cross-fertilization are carried out through the exchange of best practices. Corporate Environmental Audits are conducted every 18 months at every site to ensure the correct application of corporate environmental procedures and to monitor action plans/status vis-a-vis the Company's environmental goals. Each Corporate Environmental Audit ends with an action plan and revelant scoring of the audited site. Both site and corporate audits are verified by external, accredited verifiers during EMAS revalidation, ISO 14001 recertification and ISO 14001 yearly surveillance. The major environmental projects are monitored and reported to the Corporate Environmental Steering Committee which meets every quarter, chaired by the CEO. The more ambitious and challenging goals of the new Decalogue, published in the second half of 1999 are the reference for the 2000-2010 environmental objectives.
Among these goals, the new Environmental Decalogue calls for cooperation with international organizations to define and implement eco-efficiency indicators. This activity has already started and ST is working with World Business Council for Sustainable Development for the definition of these indicators and implementation inside ST. |
