Abstract

Although the application of tools and techniques to support environmental decision‐making is increasing within organizations, there is concern that they are not bringing the desired improvements in performance. A key reason is that tools/techniques need to be placed in context so that they also support the overall aims of the business. Within the ISO14000 series there are two techniques defined, auditing and life cycle assessment (LCA), but there are a growing number of tools and techniques that are outside the scope of the standards. For those in organizations tasked with implementing environmental improvements identifying appropriate tools and techniques can be a daunting task. A process identifying and aligning environmental tools and techniques within a business wide context is presented, supported by the results of a practical application over a two‐year period within a UK automotive supplier. The results from application suggest that this approach should be useful for other organizations. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. and ERP Environment
