BIFMA Sustainability Guidelines - 2005
BIFMA, Feb 2005, Pages: 15
The BIFMA Sustainability Guidelines have been developed to provide a roadmap for office furniture manufacturers and suppliers of all sizes beginning their journey to establish and/or expand their environmental management system (EMS), such as
IS014001, to include sustainable business practices.
The BIFMA Sustainability
Guidelines focus on five key elements in an EMS to create a foundation for developing a sustainability roadmap, they include:
1. The Environmental Policy
2. Environmental Aspects
3. Legal and Other Requirements
4. Objectives and Targets
5. Management Review
The intention of these guidelines is for the elements described herein to be used by companies in the office furniture industry so that best practices may be shared, an increase in the implementation of sustainable practices may occur, and sustainability awareness may be elevated with industry partners, stakeholders and the communities in which they operate. While not ISO14001 requirements, the BIFMA Sustainability Guidelines are consistent with ISO 14001.
