Abstract
Organizations of all kinds are increasingly concerned with achieving and demonstrating sound environmental performance by controlling the impacts of their activities, products and services on the environment, consistent with their environmental policy and objectives. MAB is one of the ISO 14001 certified breweries aiming at promoting continual improvement in environmental performance of organizations through adoption and implementation of an environmental management system. The objective of this study is to investigate whether the company’s EMS has improved and resulted in environmental, economic and other benefits. The research focuses on environmental policy, environmental objectives, targets and programs, and monitoring and measurement. Both primary and secondary data were used in the study. Interviewing, observation and self-administered questionnaire were used to collect the primary data from different sources, while EMS records of the company and various publications were used as sources of secondary data. The company’s environmental policy, environmental objectives, targets and programs, and monitoring and measurement as elements of EMS were treated conforming to the requirements of ISO 14001:2004 standard throughout the years 2005 – 2009. Overall elements of the company’s EMS were also treated conforming to the requirements as observed from the combined assessments. The company’s EMS was conformed to the requirements of ISO 14001:2004 and was improving through time. It was also observed that some environmental, economic and social benefits were gained as a result of the company’s EMS implementation. Strengthening operation and maintenance of the company’s EMS, and promoting and supporting the development and expansion of ISO 14001-based EMS in the country in general and in the brewing industry in particular is highly recommended.
