"This book provides an abundance of good information on creating and implementing an ISO 14000-compliant environmental management system. The author provides considerable evidence that an environmental management system can be good not only for the environment, but also for the organization's bottom line... This book is logical and easy to understand and provides step-by-step directions for each clause of the standard. Especially useful are the tips, warnings, and keys to success found throughout the implementation portion of the book, and considerable insight is provided into the sections of the standard that appear to be vague... Jackson's book will be most useful to those designated as management representatives. It is comprehensive, yet readable from start to finish. This book will also be useful to anyone in the organization involved in implementing an ISO 14000-based environmental management system. For those who are new to the topic, it provides a wealth of background information. For those familiar with ISO 14000, it offers useful tips and suggestions for implementing an environmental management system that will benefit the organization." - Roger E. Olson, Quality Systems Consulting Excerpted from his review, which appeared in Quality Progress magazine |
