Extending the Environmental Focus to Supply Chains. ISO 14001 as an Inter-Organizational Tool?
Författare
Summary, in English
This thesis considers this question and presents the results from recent literature, and practical experiences. It goes on to analyze and discuss the possibilities and potential problems connected to this extended use of the standard. The results establish the importance of building trust and close relationships between the cooperating companies. Trust relates also to credibility of the ISO 14001 and its certification audit. The research suggests better use of the companies’ internal capabilities stemming from implementation of ISO 14001 in order to overcome some of the problems.
