Eco-Quality Systems Development

Many companies already have quality management systems in place that are designed to: Prevent technical issues from occurring, standardize how technical activities are performed, detect technical issues that do occur, and continuously improve technical outcomes. Managing environmental impact requires a similar framework. Synergies and efficiencies can be achieved by integrating these complimentary science-based risk assurance activities and processes. Furthermore, there are often trade-offs between achieving quality and environmental impact objectives that must be considered holistically at key decision points to achieve effective management of both aspects.

Due to legacy culture or a non-science orientation, organizations either struggle to take a ‘day one’ mindset to integration transformations or lack the internal capabilities to manage the science-based risks involved. Failed transformation attempts can result from unclear / misaligned goals, functional silos, competency gaps, and change fatigue. Rather than unleashing the potential of integrated quality and environmental management systems, such false starts are expensive and erode engagement, making it more difficult to get back on track.
