I think they are just using that as a pitch toward the latest buzz word of sustainabilty. I am not sure. But I always found the best way to sell "Environmental" thinking to management is to show them how it can save or cost them $$$.

Interesting. The link mentions that I am familiar with ISO 14001:2004 and not once I've read anywhere that the standard involves itself with the financial performance of the organization. Now I am curious....

Apparently not that familiar...Take a gander at 4.3.3 of which this is a small portion..

"When establishing and reviewing its objectives and targets, an organization shall take into account the legal requirements and other requirements to which the organization subscribes, and its significant environmental aspects. It shall also consider its technological options, its financial, operational and business requirements, and the views of interested parties."

If the ISO 14001 standard was designed to maintain a balance between profitability and environmental impact one could expect that such standard would have requirements related to financial management, isn't it? The inconvenient truth, however, is that ISO 14001 does NOT, as it clearly mentions that in the introduction

It has no requirements for financial management, but finacial issues are required to be considered when considering tagets and objectives

Of course I am a new person in this subject area
