An Environmental Managementapproach developed along the

lines of the ISO 14001 or

EMAS directives is mainly used

to control the environmental

impacts associated with an

industrial site or organization

Implementing an environmental

management approach to

impacts associated with a

product requires identification

of the various aspects

associated with the products.

A link must be established

between the environmental

aspects relating only to those

sites involved in manufacturing

the product and the quantities

of product manufactured.

The implementation of an environmental management system is crucial for a company if it wants to have

sustainable control of environmental impacts and risks, if it wants to guarantee the conformity of the site or

organization with the applicable regulatory provisions or other requirements to which the company or site is

committed and if wants to ensure the continuous improvement of environmental performance in a logic of pollution

prevention. Both ISO 14001 (version 2004) and EMAS provide a methodological framework for setting up suchsystems based on what is referred to as a "DEMING Cycle" approach (Plan, Do, Check, Act).

For the ACADEMY project, all the Airbus manufacturing sites in Europe were ISO 14001 (2004 version) certified

over 2 years, as part of a progressive approach.

During the first phase, conducted on 6 sites, the tools and databases necessary for the system were set up. These

elements were then disseminated to all the other Airbus sites in Europe (17 sites), including the Head Office in

Blagnac (Toulouse).

The tools developed include the following:

- All necessary documentation

- Training and communication kits

- Procedures for conducting audits

Special care was taken to make sure that the different

approaches developed on each site were coherent,

notably as regards to integration of the entire system in

the company's quality organization.

IV. Establishing a link betweenmanufactured products and environmentalaspects associated with manufacturing

SPOEMS General presentation6 ACADEMY ISSUE N1

For the ACADEMY project, the industrial processes and aircraft parts manufactured were analysed. A link was

established between the aspects/impacts of the industrial processes, and more generally the sites involved, for each

quantity of product or aircraft part manufactured.

This is an essential phase to ensure the coherence between the system and the effective internal control of the

environmental aspects/impacts associated with the products and their life cycle.

For the ACADEMY project, this phase was conducted after each site had obtained its individual certification. It is

nevertheless possible to implement a "Corporate" approach directly.

The objective is to make sure that all the systems set up on each site are globally coherent and capable of providing

sustainable support to the company's policy and reaching the set objectives.

To achieve this goal, it is fundamental to set up a system for fixing "Corporate" objectives and regularly monitoring

progress.

The ACADEMY project developed the following methodologies and processes:

Fixing coherent objectives for the company

Organising their monitoring by a series of appropriate and suitable chosen indicators.

Without this "Corporate" and coherent approach to company management system, it is impossible to achieve

sustainable control of the environmental aspects/impacts of a product throughout its entire life cycle.

VI. Extending the environmentalmanagement approach to productlife-cycle management

Simplified analysis of the life cycle

Once a coherent environmental management system has been set up on each site that manufactures the products,

a complementary phase can then be carried out to extend the system to the whole life cycle of the products. Fromthis outlook, an analysis of the life cycle can determine the significant environmental aspects and impacts during

the different phases.

This analysis, although conducted along ISO 14040 guidelines, cannot be performed in an academic manner for

complex products.

We therefore performed a simplified analysis of the life cycle (qualitative/semi-quantitative) on the basis of defined

hypothesis.

The ACADEMY project was used to set up, test and validate a simplified method of analysing the life cycle of

an aircraft.

The different impacts were studied for two major programmes in accordance with SETAC nomenclature:

abiotic resources (water, energy, metals), biotic resources, land use, climatic changes, stratospheric ozone

depletion, chemical hazards, fog formation, photo-oxidizing, acidification, noise, etc.

Once the significant aspects/impacts had been identified, they were studied to see how they could be controlled

and reduced in the most appropriate and efficient way during the various life cycle phases.


9/16

A simplified analysis of the life cycle can thus determine the "environmental footprint" of a product. It also identifies

the life cycle phases making the greatest contribution to the overall impact, in order to implement the most

appropriate procedures for controlling and reducing such impacts.

VII. Extending the management systemto the other life cycle phases

The coherent extension of the implemented environmental management system to all the life cycle phases is mainly

based on:

All the defined objectives for improving company and product performances, resulting from the simplified analysis

of the life cycle.

Duplication of the system implemented for other life cycle phases:

- Design

- Provisioning

- Procurement

- Transport

- Operation

- Maintenance

- End of life- etc...

For each sector/domain or process of the company that is associated with a life cycle phase, we must:

1. Define an appropriate organization that comes under the company's "ISO 14001 / EMAS" organization

2. Carry out an initial diagnosis

3. Analyse the applicable regulatory requirements and the other commitments that the company made

4. Integrate the defined improvement objectives in the objectives of the sector. publish of the relevant sector's

commitments in the form of an Environmental declaration may act as an incentive

5. Implement an environmental management programme, including all actions to be performed to reach the

defined objectives / targets

6. Programme audits and a management review

7. Implement follow-through action in the form of communication and appropriate training.
