Environmental
Management System at Louisiana Pacific: Louisiana Pacific has built
an environmental management system that is unique to their industry.
Their exceptional system taps the ingenuity, resourcefulness, and
innovation of LP's employees, enabling them to make decisions about
how best to protect the environment.
As a part of
this system, employees work in teams to develop and continuously
improve procedures that either meet or exceed all applicable
environmental standards. Every Louisiana Pacific plant operates
under an environmental management system specific for the facility.
As a result, they have experienced an 80 percent reduction in
reportable environmental incidents since 1996, and can attribute
improved operational performance to the implementation of the
EMS.
At Louisiana
Pacific, their people take personal responsibility for their
actions. They are well informed about the positive impacts that
their contributions have on the company and on their communities.
They are eager and proud to share their ideas for further
improvements, not just meeting environmental compliance requirements
but surpassing them.
After all, what
is a company but a group of people who are committed to a goal, a
promise to their customers, their company, and their
world?
