E-Base
E-Base is the highly effective small to medium sized business alternative
to the ISO 14000 series. Developed by the respected Canadian management
consultant guru David King, and completed in 1999, it represents
the only internationally recognized environmental management system
available that is designed specifically for small and medium sized
businesses. E-Base takes the requirements of the ISO 14000 standards
(it is derived directly from ISO 14001) and presents them free of
jargon and in a manner suitable for use by small enterprises that
do not employ environmental management professionals.
The objective was to develop a program that will identify the basic
environmental management disciplines that small and medium sized
businesses must apply to give their customers confidence that the
appropriate environmental standards have been met. Once installed,
an E-Base program will deliver a small company environmental management
system that is affordable, understandable, installs easily and quickly
using only existing corporate resources, and ensures the company
covers all their regulatory, legal, ethical and environmental management
requirements.
The E-Base program is designed to be installed as a "stand alone"
system or it may be integrated into an existing quality management
program. In addition, an operating, certified E-Base program can
be enhanced to full ISO 14001 status using only the company's internal
resources should it ever be required to do so.
