  1. Environmental training- how the Swedish defence Materiel Administration found a winning concept • Anette Svensson • Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) • Environmental officer • Environmental management system, training, procurement

  2. Defence Materiel Administration • Authority under DoD • About 2100 employees • Five main locations, three test ranges • Annual turnover about 20 billion SEK (150 billion USD) • Work on behalf of the Swedish Armed Forces to develop, acquire, maintain and phase out of defence materiel

  3. FMV:s environmental work starts • In1997 25 pilot authorities received an assignment from the government to start implementing an EMS (ISO 14001) • Training of staff was early considered a very important part

  4. ISO 14001 • 4.4.2 Training, awareness and competence: • The organization shall identify training needs • The organization shall require that all personnel whose work may create a significant impact upon the environment, have received appropriate training

  5. Environmental training programme • Introduction 3 hours • Basic course 2 days • Advanced course 2 days

  6. FMV:s training programme • Introduction for new employees • Training for line managers • Procurement • Phase-out of defence materiel

  7. Introduction for all employees • Why shall we work with environmental issues? • Background to EMS pilot project • Environmental aspects and our activities • EMS • Environmental organization and training programme

  8. Basic course • Demands on FMV • Basic environmental knowledge • Legislation • Environmental organization and EMS • Environmentally sound acquisition of defence materiel

  9. Advanced course • Environmental knowledge • Environmentally hazardous substances • Environmental aspects of products • Legislation • Environmental demands in acquisition

  10. What was wrong? • Few registered for the courses • Contents too general • Too much basic environmental knowledge • Too little environmental knowledge connected to own activities • No tools to apply the environmental knowledge in daily work

  11. What could we do? • Make sure that managers send their personnel to environmental training • Cut out basic environmental knowledge • Cut out information about EMS • Introduce environmental knowledge connected to specific field of technology • Introduce tools for implementation in daily work

  12. New concept • Training offered on demand • Training directed to specific field of technology • The contents of the course developed with the ”customer” • Dialogue, not classical training

  13. New organization • Competence based organization • Easier to offer training to heterogeneous competence groups

  14. Environmental objectives • Five environmental objectives replaced with one objective based on our most significant environmental aspect: procurement • The environmental objective is part of FMV:s strategic goals • Training is offered as a help to reach the strategic goals

  15. Custom made courses • Why are environmental issues important for FMV (discussion)? • Environmental issues in the project management process • Environmental aspects • Legislation • Environmental demands in acquisition • Support

  16. Lessons learned • Introduction for all employees was good, but we missed follow-up • Training of heterogeneous competence groups was not good • General environmental knowledge was not popular • Environmental sections in other courses was good • Competence groups – our winning concept!
