Some business activities can be harmful to the environment; however,
industry and the EPA are working together to minimise harm and
reduce adverse effects on the environment by using effective systems
for environmental management. Businesses small and large have
not only realised significant economic gains as a result, but
have taken a step in the right direction towards achieving a sustainable
future for their enterprise and community.
Bridgestone Australia Ltd
Bridgestone, in co-operation with the EPA, has developed an environmental
management system (EMS) to ensure that the business meets its
legal obligations under the Environment Protection Act as well
as other specific environmental targets. The system ensures that
the business continuously improves their environmental performance,
and that targets are set, actions are formulated and resources
are assigned to achieve these targets.
