  5. ISO 14000: Irrelevant or Invaluable? • “Doesn’t that certificate look good on the wall?” • “Costs without benefits!” • “We don’t need ISO 14000, the EPA regulates us closely enough.” • 1996 – 2000: 23000 registrations (e.g. Japan)

  6. ISO 14000: Irrelevant or Invaluable? • More value reported internationally. • Those without own EMS signed on. • TRI reporters (‘dirty’): Emissions lower in those signed on to ISO 14000. • Managerial implication: More valuable if you are more dirty relative to your industry. • ISO 14000 is a business issue.
