Environmental Management in European Union: Survey of ISO 14001 Certified Estonian Companies

Author(s): Triinu Habakuk,Natalja Gurvitš / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

The growing importance of sustainable development and influence of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on the performance of companies have forced companies to care more than ever about the environmental impact of their activities. Wide range of environmental legislations has been enforced by the European Union during recent years in order to ensure sustainable development of European cities. As a result, various initia­tives have taken place to boost companies’ interest to take control over the environmental performance. An environmental management area has developed strongly in recent decades and various systems and tools have been introduced to effectively manage sustainable environmental development of companies. More and more organizations both in Estonia and worldwide are initiating the ISO14001 certification process, which specifies requirements for environmental management systems, in order to develop and implement envi­ronmental policy and objectives. The main purpose of the present research was to identify the main factors of initiating the ISO certification process by Estonian companies and to get their opinion regarding the future of the ISO 14001 certification in Estonia. To achieve the aim of the research, the authors have set the following research tasks: to provide a wide overview of the scientific literature covering the main relevant studies in the selected research area; to research the implementation of standards in European Union and Estonia; to con­duct a survey in the form of questionnaire among ISO 14001 certified enterprises; to reveal respondent’s opin­ion about the current situation and future development of ISO 14001 certification in Estonia. The main methods applied in this article include analytical method and quantitative research method. Authors conducted a survey among ISO 14001 certified Estonian companies in September–October 2015 and collected 115 replies. The findings of the present research clearly demonstrate that Estonian companies are actively involved into the environmental management process; therefore, they initiated the ISO 14001 certification procedure and are willing to renew the certificate upon expiration. They also confirm that Estonian stakeholders are aware of the environmental management initiatives and their opinions are valued by companies and inspire them to show better performance in the field of environmental sustainability. The companies are also caring about their reputation and compliance with environmental laws and legislation, and believe that ISO 14001 certification will assist in this matter. However, it should be pointed out that surveyed companies do not identify a direct link between the ISO 14001 certification and reductions of certain costs and expenses. Therefore, there should be more workshops and training organized in order to explain how the sustainability helps to boost the effective­ness of the company by reducing various expenses and increasing profits.

Many factors influence to sediment yield of rivers flowing into Caspian Sea within the territory Azerbaijan.The chemistry of bedrock and surfical geology and the drainage characteristics of soils can determine whether natural waters are acid or alkaline, sedimentladenor clear, high in heavy metals and dissolved salts or relatively free of those constituents. Physical processes like erosion can add large quantities of suspended sediment to waters of rivers flowing into Caspian Sea within the territory Azerbaijan. Sediment yield directly affects virtually all water uses. Fish survival, diversity, and growth; recreational activitities such as swimming and boating; municipal, industrial and private water supplies; agricultural uses such as irrigation and livestock watering; waste disposal; and general aesthetics-all are affected by the physical, chemical, biological and microbiological conditions that exist in watercourses and in subsurfase aquifers

Miasto jako aktywny aktor działań w zakresie równego traktowania. Paradoksy i problematyka polityki antydyskryminacyjnej na poziomie lokalnym — Grenoble (Francja)

Author(s): Bartlomiej Barcik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 7/2016

In the beginning of the 21st century, the issue of discrimination became a subject of public policy. Based on two different logics: repressive and preventive, equal treatment policy was to become one of the primary tools in the realisation of the ideal of “actual” equality and social justice. Nonetheless, despite mobilising state institutions and the efforts of other organisations, implementation of the non-discrimination policies remains fraught with difficulties. To transform the letter of the law into real-world change constitutes a significant problem for French local governments. Likewise, social sciences encounter similar difficulties, particularly from the methodological and epistemic points of view; the city of Grenoble can serve as one of such case studies. The article discusses the research results of studies conducted by sociologists and political scientists from the Grenoble Alpes University. The main research topic was the complexity of the phenomenon and experience of discrimination as well as the functioning of the Urban Policy, which is perceived in France as a political answer to the issue of growing social and economic inequalities in the so-called difficult neighbourhoods. The example of Grenoble contributes a lot of findings which can serve as a basis of general reflection on the coherence and effectiveness of the implemented policies as well as their actual influence on leveling the inequalities among the inhabitants of urban spaces.

Author(s): Bridgette Lipman,Mary Z. Ashlock / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2015

Communication within organizations in a global environment requires effective internal and strategic planning at the executive level. Previous studies indicate that measurement is a key factor in assessing the needs and success of global communication within an organization. Survey questions were used to measure satisfaction responses from 650 local and 110 global employees in a technology division of a large manufacturing company. In this case study, employees expressed the need to connect team members through face-to-face meetings, employee webcast meetings, web chat forums, and an updated employee networking site. The findings formed the foundations for recommendations for strategy, objectives, and tactics within the organization.

Spring grass burning: An alleged driver of successful oak regeneration in sub-carpathian marginal woods. A case study

Author(s): Jan Ziobro,Magdalena Koziarz,Serhiy Havrylyuk,Mykola Korol,Bernadetta Ortyl,Paweł Wolański,Andrzej Bobiec / Language(s): English Issue: 146/2016

Wooded pastures or pastured woods are disappearing from European landscapes. It is caused by the cessation of traditional farming ( in particular traditional pasturing ), lack of proper protection, forestry and agriculture intensification. Oak is one of the most common trees in such ecosystems, where it successfully regenerates, in particular due to conducive light conditions. According to the studies carried out in North America and Mediterranean zone in Europe, grass burning is one of important factors contributing to the establishment of open and semi-open habitats fostering oak regeneration. Our goal was to check the potential and progress of oak regeneration in marginal woods neighboring with grasslands in Ostoja Przemyska ( SE Poland ) and in Rozhniativ District ( W Ukraine ). In Poland the traditional silvopastoral management was ceased after the World War II ( finally in the 1970s ), while in Ukraine oak woods are still subject to occasional burning and pasturing. The inventory of oak regeneration, accompanied with the measurement of photosynthetically active radiation and the phytosociological assessment of plant communities, revealed a relatively abundant oak regeneration in the studied Ukrainian woods ( on average 4750 saplings ha-1 ), contrasting with the absence of young oaks in the Polish stands ( on average 30 saplings ha-1 ). This coincided with the sharp difference in both light conditions and vegetation characteristics between the two studied landscape units. Occasional spring grass burning in Ukrainian woods is considered an important factor contributing to the oak regeneration success.

Author(s): Magdalena Kołodziejska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2016

Natural sciences lessons can be an interesting adventure for students, if we allow them for active participation. They require to engage from students in learning activities, but also provide better quality and assimilation of knowledge and higher skills level. Outdoor activities can offer the possibility of cross-lessons integration so essential in modern teaching – outside the classroom the content from different subjects complement each other. During these classes the student gets not only theoretical knowledge but also comprehensive, intelligently learns the surrounding world and processes occurring in the natural environment and cultural heritage. Outside the classroom single lessons can be carried out or can combine them together. Classes can take place in the immediate vicinity of the school, eg. school garden or in a more remote area. These activities engage all children, not only the most talented, enabling direct contact with the environment, offer the possibility of outdoor activity, to involve all the senses and thus are considered by students, regardless of their age, the most attractive. The content of presented report are based on both theoretical assumptions , the results of the available studies and teacher observations independently conducting the outdoor activities in two different age groups: students of 1st and 4th stage of education.
