EcoQuality is a set of our methods, tools and certifications that provides a means to reduce carbon footprints and other waste streams through process design, improvement and control.
EcoQuality is a natural extension of the core principles of the Juran Trilogy®, encompassing the dimension of environmental quality to deliver the new level of organizational performance increasingly demanded by customers, shareholders, regulators and the community.
In particular, carbon emissions are facing scrutiny by regulators and other stakeholders as an essential dimension of quality. Carbon emissions are a by-product of fossil fuel use, and receive considerable attention in the world forum as a major greenhouse gas. As a greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide has been implicated as a contributor to climate change.
Organizations contribute to global carbon emissions through transportation of raw materials, supplies and finished products, consumption of paper products and office supplies, movement of materials from one location to another, inefficient layout of processes and equipment, and energy consumption as part of operations, environmental control, etc. By applying a systematic approach, organizations can reduce carbon emissions and control their carbon footprint, thereby saving costs and helping the environment.
EcoQuality provides clients with a range of services to better understand, improve and control their carbon footprint. Following the proven framework of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control, the process takes clients through a baseline carbon assessment, development of a plan for improvement, assistance in making detailed process changes, piloting changes and measuring improvement, and controlling carbon footprint.
