Ozyegin University Example: Responsible Consumption & Responsible Stakeholders

Sustainability has been one of the core principles at Ozyegin University (OzU) since its establishment in 2008 and is deeply embedded in its education, research and governance strategy. For OzU, being a green university means building an organic community constantly improving itself on every aspect of sustainability in collaboration with all its stakeholders. OzU accomplished these by establishing the first Health & Safety and Environment (HSE) Department within a university in Turkey. Besides, OzU is also the first university in Turkey to have been concurrently awarded both ISO 14001 Environmental Management System and OHSAS 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System Certifications. With these accomplishments OzU has pioneered the path for sustainable universities in Turkey resulting in various rewards and highest places in multitude rankings including GreenMetric. This paper discusses OzU’s strategy and the subsequent steps taken to attain these achievements including the roles of HSE Department and HSE Board

Protection Information

An integrated management system refers to the application of several different international standards, and it contributes to efficient and effective organizational management. The Quality Standards were first developed at the end of the twentieth century; however, due to social, political and many other reasons, the The International Organization for Standardization has also developed standards related to occupational health and safety, environmental protection, information security, risk management, energy efficiency, etc. Since all of these standards are process-oriented, there is an emerging need to simplify their implementation. Similarly, valid versions of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards identical in structure have been adopted in the last five years, which facilitated their integrated implementation and application. This paper describes a concept of integrated management system through a standardized safety management system. Key words: ISO standards, management, safety, integration

Characteristic Features

The article substantiates the relationship between environmental safety and energy efficiency – as the main components on the way to sustainable development of society. The existing approaches to defining the essence of environmental safety are considered, its characteristic features are detailed, the basic practical principles of its provision are substantiated, and promising directions for the further development of the international environmental safety system are shown. The general scheme of the organization of the ecological safety system in the normal state of the environment is presented, which should be based on three components: control, regulation and implementation of safety measures. It is shown that maximum efforts should be directed to making management decisions based on the analysis of existing risks and forecasting new potential threats, which are an integral part of human activity. An important stage in a productive management system is the use of the best available technologies, which does not require strict regulation of activities and provides the freedom to choose ways to achieve this goal, based on the latest technological and technological solutions. organizational developments and their successful combination. Competitive advantages and a number of disadvantages from the introduction of an environmental management system at an enterprise, in particular in the energy sector, have been substantiated. The article presents the main laws of Ukraine in the field of environmental safety, as well as the state standards of Ukraine in the series of international standard ISO 14000. The main stages of management in the field of environmental safety, based on the Shuhard-Deming cycle, are summarized and presented in the model of the environmental safety management standard DSTU ISO 14001:2015.

After a decade-long evolution, the use of coal for energy production is growing again. Carbon is still an important source of energyin Europe, covering about one-fourth of electricity production. There are plans to open around 50 new coal-fired power plants.But the continued use of coal has a price, we pay all, mainly with our health can be affected by excessive environmental pollutionToday more and more emphasis on the concept of „green economy” that should be reflected in improving people’s lives througheffective management of environmental issues and reducing environmental risks Thus, through the present paper we aim to highlightthose aspects that would allow the improvement of the environmental performance of coal-fired power plants in Romania byimproving the efficiency and effectiveness of the Environmental Management System (EMS) as a component of the Integrated ManagementSystem along with the Quality, Health and Safety Management System . We start from the premise that the developmentand implementation of an effective and efficient environmental management system (EMS) becomes a priority for all companies inthe field , especially since their activities based on coal burning , are considered among the most polluting.
