5. BUSINESS DEPENDS ON
EFFECTIVE SYSTEMS
EMS APPLIES THOSE
SYSTEMS TO REDUCE
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
KEY ADDED INGREDIENT =
MOTIVATION

IMPORTANT?
Too many business priorities
Under pressure environment can
lose priority to current issues.
Motivation keeps it in priority

7. THREE LEVELS OF MOTIVATION
Support from the top
Part of regular business and
personal targets.
Passion amongst ordinary
employees.

8. EXAMPLE FROM UNILEVER
Project Eliminate – reduce
landfill to zero 2004-6

9. ULP Environment Sustainability
ULP’s Commitment MDG Framework
1. Ensure our operations
do not pollute
2. Encourage our
neighbours not to Core Business
pollute
Social Investment
3. Encourage wider Policy Advocacy
participation to
support the agenda

10. Waste Reduction History in ULP
On-site Solid Waste Transfer Station
BEFORE Improvements
NOW a PARKING LOT!
Impressive performance:
20-fold reduction from
1994 to 2000...
… But increased in
2003 due to entry
of 3P on site

29. Expanding Unilever’s work on solid waste to
the community
Study solid waste in the community
1) Pier 18 (15 tons characterised)
2) Pampanga isolated villages
3) Street sweepers in Divisoria
4) Estero de Paco floating waste

30. Expanding Unilever’s work on solid waste to
the community
Lessons from the waste studies
1) Detergent and cosmetic waste 0.5% total.
2) Paper, metal and many plastics recycled.
3) Flexibles packaging 0.1% total (Plastic bags 9%)
4) Flexibles small but visible – can now be recycled –
the key issue is how to collect.
Project Eliminate continues!

31. EXAMPLE FROM PBE
We aim to help business help
the environment
…spread best practice
…synergy between businesses
Clean Fleet Management
programme – a great example

32. CLEAN FLEET MANAGEMENT
Group together businesses with
fleets: share and compete
Pilot group led by Meralco
UNEP calculation tool pioneered.
Partnership with Clean Air Asia

33. CLEAN FLEET MANAGEMENT
…THE SELLING STORY
It costs us a fortune to pollute…
especially by burning fossil fuels.
Cleaner fleets use less fuel.

34. CLEAN FLEET MANAGEMENT
…Maintenance
…Eco Driving training
…Fuel selection
…Fleet planning (loading,
vehicle replacement)
15% fuel saving with current
fleet.

35. EXPANDING CLEAN FLEET
MANAGEMENT
…More corporate fleets
…Government fleets
…Bus fleets

36. EMS – KEY CONCLUSIONS
• Motivation is key: Top management
support: make it a passion for everyone.
• Understand the economics: More
efficiency=less pollution= lower cost.
• Good systems needed: part of normal
business – import what you need but
avoid alien systems.
• Spread the benefits: to business
partners: to the community.
