Introduction
Purpose of the CP textbook "CP Team, policy and
motivation”
The present brochure and the working documents contained herein should
help you optimise your company's organisational and structural framework
in order to create ideal conditions for the introduction of preventive
environmental action as a tool to optimise your operations. These
measures are also a milestone for the introduction of an environmental
management system to EMAS or ISO 14001.
Focal issues
The following issues are prioritised in this dossier:
Formulation of arguments supporting the introduction of an action
programme to avoid waste and emissions, benefits of CP (pros)
Anticipation of counterarguments (cons) and obstacles
Reasons for the establishment of an environment task force;
environment representative and environmental team
Motivation of the workforce
Description / analysis of the current situation: weak points and strong
points in terms of environmental performance
CP: a sound foundation for an EMS (where is CP synonymous with EMS
compliance? Where do EMS requirements exceed CP requirements?)
Definition of environmental policy
These focal issues demonstrate that the project you have initiated depends
on the co-operation of the entire workforce. Hence, it is important to
disseminate information about the project and its goals as early as
possible. This will enable you to appeal to all affected co-workers to
contribute to the project and provide valuable information. Before you go
into these discussions, you prepare a list of common counterarguments.

Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation
Depending on the size of the company, it makes sense to set up a team
committed to planning and implementing the environment programme.
Just as important is the organisational integration of the team in the
company (organisation chart).
Environment
team
A project such as CP can only prosper if it is driven by truly committed co-
workers. This part explains how to motivate your workforce in the long
term and not just for the duration of the project.
Motivation of
the
workforce
The task of clearly defining the specific environmental targets for your
company is best fulfilled by analysing your current strengths and
weaknesses. Perhaps this will reveal the first weak points in your company.
An overview chart illustrates the tasks you will be faced with during your first
CP year and how this automatically prepares your company for the
introduction of an Environmental Management System (EMS) according to
EMAS (ecological audit) and ISO 14001.
CP and
environment
management
system
Your environmental policy sends out a clear signal of your environmental
commitment. As the environmental policy must be approved by the
management, it ensures the involvement of the very highest hierarchical
levels of your company. Indeed, the environmental policy is further proof of
the many parallels between CP and the EMS in that both programmes insist
on the formulation of such a policy. In this part, you will find out all about
the content and requirements of a good environmental policy. Good practical
examples are described in the appendix.
Environmental
policy
This firm "rooting" of the concept of preventive environmental action in the
company is based on the following argument:
Only a well informed workforce that feels involved is motivated
enough to contribute to the project and take responsibility.

In the second chapter of the brochure, you will find systematically presented
information and suitable examples concerning the focal issues mentioned
above. Please contact the address indicated in the front of this dossier if you
wish to borrow sheets for motivation lectures in your company.
Information
You should then proceed by adapting the general working documentation in
part 3 to the special situation in your company. This task is made easier by
the worksheets and the example of the brewery used in all parts of the CP
manuals.
Worksheets
In Part 4, a summary of the results of activities initiated by you with the aid
of this brochure provides the management with an overview of the work
carried out to date and future plans.
Summary
So, we invite you to study this working dossier at leisure for 1 or 2 hours in
order to optimise your project implementation strategies and streamline your
activities to make your project a success.
HINTS
If the company has less than (or approximately) 20 employees, it
makes little sense to set up an environmental team. In any case, it is
useful to identify existing structures in the company which could
potentially perform the tasks of an environmental team.
!
!
!
!
!
If you are a member of the management, items 3 and 6 are obviously
of no relevance for you. However, you should try to secure the co-
operation of the workforce, for instance by organising a tender of ideas
and by involving them in the analysis of strengths and weaknesses.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to define a time frame for item 4.
Ultimately, the time required to organise an information event depends
very much on the company.
Perhaps you can use internal celebrations, such as the Christmas party,
to provide information about the project. Alternatively, your in-house
magazine may be a suitable channel for a presentation of the project.
During your first meeting with the management, you should find out
whether or not the co-workers will be able to profit from savings made
as a result of their proposals. A system of financial or non-material
incentives will stimulate long term co-operation.

Implementation of A Preventive Environmental
Action Programme - Getting The Management On
Board
Presenting the pros to the management
Information and motivation are the pillars of success. At an information
meeting with the management, the following questions need to be
answered:
Why do we introduce a programme to avoid waste and
emissions?
Evaluation As part of the project, you evaluate the following aspects of the company:
Organisation, structure - in order to set up an environmental team,
introduce an environmental information system tailored to the needs of
the company and define responsibilities by means of job profiles
Legal requirements - not just to comply with current legislation, but
also to anticipate imminent developments and prepare for future
challenges
Environmental technology - to analyse the flow of materials and energy
balance with the aim of optimising the input of raw materials and
energy and employing the most efficient production technology.
These measures all help to minimise the environmental impact of
production.
The benefits of CP
Proactive rather than reactive approach - active prevention rather
than waiting for an order to tidy up the mess
Benefits
Reduced environmental impact of the actions of the company
Improved economic situation of the company through optimised
input of materials and energy
Motivated workforce

Preparation and building of a foundation for the introduction of an
environmental management system
What system do you apply in order to implement a
programme to avoid waste and emissions?
In line with the basic philosophy of preventive environmental action in the
company, emissions and waste are perceived as weak points. All producers
of major volumes of waste or hazardous waste– often due to the use of
harmful input materials – are identified by tracking the waste product (the
SYMPTOM) back to its source, which is subsequently treated according to
the PRU (prevention before reduction and utilisation) principle. The
following principle applies:
Idea
Less waste through reduced input. After all, you can't throw what
you never bought.
Method The operations of the company are analysed by means of a targeted
material and energy flow analysis. To start with, an input/output analysis is
made for the most important material flows. If required, certain aspects of
the material flow can be analysed in greater detail.

Weak points identified by preparing the INPUT/OUTPUT balance can be
treated in a variety of ways: by using raw materials more sparingly, by
closing material cycles, taking technical measures, internal utilisation or
external recycling or by modifying the product. The principles of
optimisation are shown in the diagram below.

How do you motivate your co-workers?
Presenting the pros to your co-workers
Your co-workers fulfil many duties at different levels of the company. They
can move a lot at the very sources of production of waste and emissions.
However, certain measures must be taken to motivate them and convince
them of the importance of their co-operation.
They need to be told
why (see also "Presenting the pros to the management", chapter 2.1)Providing
information
what (pollutants and expensive input materials), and
how (see also "Criteria of the analysis of weak points”, dossier 1)
they can make a difference.The best way to do it is to organise an
information event as proposed in the work section.
If the co-workers feel that the importance of their work is appreciated by
the company, they will be willing to accept responsibility for their tasks.
Even the responsibility for seemingly simple work such as separating waste
must be assigned to a "team".
Delegating
responsibility
You and the management must reward these activities and the initiative of
the co-workers through praise and/or a scheme of financial participation in
the savings.
Praise
In its interaction with the outside world, the company's commitment for the
environment should be both visible and credible. The participation in a
project for the protection of the environment (for instance CP), the choice
of ecologically produced and packaged promotional gifts, the adoption of
ecologically sound purchasing strategies, the formulation of an
environmental policy by the management, publications about the
company's commitment to preventive environmental action in the daily
press etc. – combined with tangible activities for the protection of the
environment – will ensure the lasting co-operation of the workforce. A
policy of two-way communication with the general public will convince the
workforce that they are working for a "good, ecologically aware" company.
Consolidating
the
company's
image

Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation
Positive examples of environmental action by the management and the co-
operation of apprentices - for instance by painting the waste collection
points - will help motivate the workforce and thus consolidate the idea of
preventive environmental action.
Setting
examples
The table below shows the potential benefits to the workforce from their
participation in a programme to avoid waste and emissions.
Showing
benefits
Benefits Examples
financial:
Incentives and
bonuses
1. Bicycle lottery: You could organise a draw for
everybody who cycled to work that day. The prize
is 15,- €.
2. Participation in the financial benefits obtained as a
result of an internal proposal
3. General bonuses for savings
personal:
Competitions,
ecological gifts,
training, possibility
of promotion
1. Good proposals and commitment are considered
when it comes to promoting members of the
workforce.
2. Better reputation in the company
3. Increased motivation through competitions and
gifts ("green ticket" from the public transport
operator)
other:
1. “Green information hotline”
2. Information leaflets, company magazines,
"Eco bulletin board"
3. Internal system to stimulate the submission of
proposals by the workforce - tender of ideas

2.4 Anticipation of counterarguments (cons) and
obstacles
Supporting your argumentation
Please do not be irritated by opposition against your work to motivate the
management and the workforce. Your opponents may voice some of the
following arguments:
23 PROVEN AND SUCCESSFUL "IDEA KILLERS"
Project
assassins
1. Don't forget, we have to make money, too.
2. You will never be able to sell these ideas to the management.
3. Let's think about the details later.
4. I know that it won't work.
5. We are too big / too small for this.
6. We tried / thought about this one before.
7. This is bound to be too expensive.
8. This is neither the time nor the place for such a discussion.
9. It means work.
10. We have always done it like this - why change now?
11. You don't seem to get the problem.
12. Let's discuss this later.
13. Our company (our situation) is different.
14. Let somebody else try this first.
15. This does not tie in with out long-term plans.
16. Talk to such and such, that's his task.
17. We have already overspent / used up this year's budget.
18. It won't work and it is against our strategy.
19. We have no time to spare for this.
20. It sounds good in theory, but in practice it is another story....
21. We don't have enough / not the right employees.
22. We are not ready for this idea yet.
23. It is too late to change now...

Arguments
Don't let yourself be steamrollered by these counterarguments. Think who
uses which arguments. Don't try to shrug them off by saying "Oh ah, I've
heard this one before!" – prove them wrong with intelligent, well prepared
answers, pointing out examples from your company.
There will always be a certain degree of reluctance and resistance against
an innovative project that involves change, such as CP. The following
summary gives you an overview of different obstacles you may be faced
with:

Short-term thinking and planning.
Attitudes such as "protection of the environment costs a lot."
Organisational obstacles
No information or data available.
Position of the waste representative unclear.
Authority and responsibilities of members of the environmental team
unclear.
Rigid hierarchy.
Economic obstacles
Lack of funds.
Badly set priorities.
Lack of economy – assets that are difficult to express in figures, such as
the image of the company, are simply ignored.
Before you initiate an CP programme in your company, you have to
diagnose possible obstacles in your company in order to address these
problems in your argumentation.

Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation
Resistance against innovation
As we have mentioned earlier, you must be aware that CP will not be
whole-heartedly embraced by all of your colleagues. However, don't let this
discourage you - it is a typical reaction to innovation. If you want to push
through innovative ideas, you will usually find that there are five groups of
people whose response to your request of co-operation with the CP project
differs dramatically.
Response to
innovative
ideas
1. Innovators
Five different
groups
Description: Innovators like to take risks, they are more than willing to give
new ideas a chance; however, they are often regarded with suspicion by
their colleagues.
2. Early followers
Description: Although early followers are very much open to change and
innovation, they do not really like to take risks; early followers usually
enjoy wide-spread acceptance among their co-workers. Unofficially, the
group of early followers often takes the lead when it comes to spreading
new ideas.
3. Early majority
Description: The early majority is well informed, but would not consider
anything new before it is sufficiently tested. However, they do not want to
"lag behind" and contribute actively when it comes to spreading new ideas.
4. Late majority
Description: The late majority is rather sceptical when it comes to change;
they prefer to wait. There is relatively little preparedness to change and
innovate.
5. Laggards
Description: This group categorically refuses change and concentrates on
the past, not the future. Waverers are usually isolated and find little
acceptance among their colleagues.
You know your colleagues sufficiently to assign them to one of these
groups. You must concentrate on the first three groups - ultimately, they
will be the ones to actively support your CP work. Do not take too much
notice of groups 4 and 5. The energy it would take to convince them is
better invested elsewhere.

How do I set up an environmental team?
The key to the success you are looking for lies in the co-
operation of a committed workforce.
If the size and structure of your company is suitable, you should set up an
environmental team. As the organisation of smaller entities is relatively
simple, it is not necessary to set up an official team; the contribution of
committed co-workers to a programme of preventive environmental action
does not necessarily require an organised framework. In some enterprises,
the existing organisational and information structure may even be suitable
for an integration of tasks of the environmental team.
You should set up an environmental team
because your company consists of different departments/units; on your
own, you do not have the necessary "bird's eye view" of the
organisation, and you lack the necessary technological know-how;
Reasons to set
up an
environmental
team
because you will choose committed and competent co-workers to
address different environmental issues;
because if you wish to install an environment management system
according to EMAS or ISO 14001, you will have to show that the
development and implementation of your company's environment
programme is supported by a suitable structure;
because as a TEAM – with a common goal – you are so much stronger
than a lone warrior.
Environmental manager and environmental team
Returning to the last statement, it cannot be overstressed that it is simply
not enough to appoint an environment and waste representative in the
company, to expect him to deal with all environmental aspects and to carry
out the CP project all by himself. His tasks include the co-ordination of the
project, the provision of information and the representation of the project
before the management.
Tasks of the
environment
representative
13
Main Menu Teachers notesTeachers' notes
Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation
However, in order to successfully conclude a project, he needs the support
of a working team. The environmental team is responsible for the
consolidation of ecological principles at all levels of the company. Together
with the environment and waste representative, it plans implementation
and information strategies. It updates the internal environment
programme. It co-operates with all levels and "services" the internal
information channels.
Tasks of the
environmental
team
This explains the importance of rooting the environmental team in the
company structure and giving it authority to influence procedures with
environmental impact. Consequently, the members of the environmental
team shall be included in the organisation chart.
Choice/selection of TEAM members:
Try to choose a good mix of committed co-workers from the different
departments of the company. Pick them from key positions. The list below
shows possible "fields of activity":
Organisation, production, engineering, maintenance, materials
administration, purchasing, acceptance, sales, buildings, quality assurance,
accounting, personnel department, legal department, management,
consultant, works committee, planning, development, environment, safety,
energy, company doctor...
Fields of
activity for
the team
Not all of these areas need to be involved. After all, if the team is too big, it
is inefficient because discussions take too long. However, consult the
organisation chart of your company to check whether all relevant positions
are duly represented.
Even at this stage, you should ensure that the tasks of the members of
your team are clearly described. This description is later translated into a
job profile. An example for the management representative is found in the
appendix.
14
Main Menu Teachers notesTeachers' notes
Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation
Planning the first meeting of the environmental team:
As soon as you know who you want to work with, you can organise the
first meeting. The meeting will address the following issues:
Meeting of the
environmental
team Explanation of personal and technical reasons for the establishment of
the environmental team.
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
Together, choose a name for the team. In the course of the discussion
you have the opportunity to create a vivid and positive atmosphere by
suggesting unconvential names such as “waste-watchers” or ”green
wonder boys”
Then, make your first company screening with respects to the finding
of common aims and the definition of main topics in the team.
HINTS:
First of all, address the question of the project time input of all team
members. It is best to give the CP environmental team a number. To
start with, enter the time required for meetings and team discussions
held within the scope of CP events plus additional time for investigation
and literature research.
Meet frequently in the beginning and then phase in a monthly interval
between meetings. There should be a minimum of four meetings per
year.
Do not forget to invite your boss to these meetings. Tell him about the
agenda.
In the beginning, you have to check that the information is handed
down from the team members to the co-workers in the individual fields
of activity.
During the introduction phase, prepare at least one report every
quarter.
Have external or internal experts temporarily join your team to address
special issues.
To get other co-workers involved in the project at an early stage, you
can have them join the name finding session for your team. You could
think of 3 names for your team, possibly with a logo, put them to the
vote and in this way let your colleagues decide which name the team
will adopt. It is best to put up posters at a central point in the company
– alternatively, you can use the information meeting to put the name
suggestions to the vote. In this way, you have successfully informed
your colleagues, involved them in the initial stages and maybe won
them over.

2.6 Motivation of co-workers
A constant challenge to the management, the project manager
and everybody involved!
Your CP project can only be a success if it is driven by keen and committed
co-workers whose motivation remains high at all times (see 2.2).
For any field of activity and the company culture as such, (permanently)
motivated co-workers are a necessity. Just how far the views of the
management and of the workforce differ when it comes to the wishes and
needs of co-workers is illustrated by the following table. Based on a survey
conducted in several companies, the table compares the needs of the co-
workers as seen by the management and by the workforce itself.
Wishes and
needs of the
co-workers
in the eyes of the management in the eyes of the workforce
1. high income 1. recognition of good work
2. good working conditions 2. detailed knowledge of products
and the company's mission
.. 3. consideration of personal
concerns
.. 4. safe job
.. 5. high income
.. 6. "polite management"
..
9. recognition of good work 9. good working conditions
10. detailed knowledge of the
company's mission
Source: A Survey of Companies, Institute of
Occupational Training, Berlin
In practice, this shows that the management often misunderstands the
needs of its workforce. In fact, aspects such as praise and recognition as
well as an in-depth knowledge of the mission are much more important
than the management would generally believe. It is only by understanding
the principles and goals of the company that the workforce will identify
with the mission and efficiently work for its fulfilment.

Finally, it is useful to list some aspects you should never forget when you
are building a committed team – be it for an "ecological" project such as CP
or for any other project.
If you want, you can use the following list as a checklist for your project:

HINTS:
Make the issue of motivating the workforce the subject of a brainstorming
session of the environmental team and write down all ideas. Immediately
take up suggestions that are easily put into practice! You will soon discover
the hidden potential of your co-workers and colleagues!
Motivation of the management and co-workers
Just how important it is for the management to set a positive example has
already been mentioned in chapter 2.2. The visible commitment of the
management to the CP project will mobilise the workforce because it shows
that the management "lives" environmental awareness and does not just
dish out orders. Credible principles and their implementation are great
motivators.
Looking
up to the
management
Of course, the existing organisational structure is bound to influence the
implementation of an innovative project such as CP. In today's commercial
and industrial environment, many different styles of leadership are
practised: authoritarian leadership (based on obedience), consultative
leadership (based on advice), participatory leadership (based on
recommendation) and co-operative leadership, which involves a certain
degree of joint and autonomous decision-making. Naturally, the style of
leadership in your company directly affects your environmental team. A
more co-operative leadership style obviously leaves the group – and
therefore the environmental team – more scope for decision-making.
Style of
leadership
If you are interested in the subjects of leadership style/management
strategies, please study the examples given in the appendix.
In a CP project, the management should of course fully support the project
manager and the environmental team. In any case, the participation in the
following key phases of the project is strongly recommended:

Which issues should be addressed by an
environmental policy
Definition of the environmental policy
If you want to install an environment management system in the company,
the very first measure is to define the company's environmental policy. The
environmental policy should describe the company's long term and
strategic ecological goals and targets. This policy is the foundation which
supports everything else, for instance the measures (goals) which are
themselves translated into an environment action plan. In this way, the
strategic orientation with respect to environmental action is reliably
followed.
The management must define the environmental policy and ensure it is
made known throughout the company.
According to ISO 14001 and EMAS, the environmental policy must include
at least the following items:
Declaration of the organisation's overall environmental performance
targets and principles to provide a framework for the company's actions
and for the definition of its environmental goals (ISO 14001)
Definitions to
ISO 14001
and EMAS
Definition of the overall goals and principles of action in terms of the
environment including compliance with all applicable environmental
laws and regulations (EMAS).
Based on these definitions, your environmental policy should include all
issues, areas, activities and programmes in your company that do or will
take place.

  • 2. Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation 2- Background Material 2 2.1 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Textbook Introduction Purpose of the CP textbook "CP Team, policy and motivation” The present brochure and the working documents contained herein should help you optimise your company's organisational and structural framework in order to create ideal conditions for the introduction of preventive environmental action as a tool to optimise your operations. These measures are also a milestone for the introduction of an environmental management system to EMAS or ISO 14001. Focal issues The following issues are prioritised in this dossier: Formulation of arguments supporting the introduction of an action programme to avoid waste and emissions, benefits of CP (pros) Anticipation of counterarguments (cons) and obstacles Reasons for the establishment of an environment task force; environment representative and environmental team Motivation of the workforce Description / analysis of the current situation: weak points and strong points in terms of environmental performance CP: a sound foundation for an EMS (where is CP synonymous with EMS compliance? Where do EMS requirements exceed CP requirements?) Definition of environmental policy These focal issues demonstrate that the project you have initiated depends on the co-operation of the entire workforce. Hence, it is important to disseminate information about the project and its goals as early as possible. This will enable you to appeal to all affected co-workers to contribute to the project and provide valuable information. Before you go into these discussions, you prepare a list of common counterarguments. Preventive environment- al action depends on co-operation Authors: 2 Main Menu Teachers' notes
  • 3. Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation Depending on the size of the company, it makes sense to set up a team committed to planning and implementing the environment programme. Just as important is the organisational integration of the team in the company (organisation chart). Environment team A project such as CP can only prosper if it is driven by truly committed co- workers. This part explains how to motivate your workforce in the long term and not just for the duration of the project. Motivation of the workforce The task of clearly defining the specific environmental targets for your company is best fulfilled by analysing your current strengths and weaknesses. Perhaps this will reveal the first weak points in your company. An overview chart illustrates the tasks you will be faced with during your first CP year and how this automatically prepares your company for the introduction of an Environmental Management System (EMS) according to EMAS (ecological audit) and ISO 14001. CP and environment management system Your environmental policy sends out a clear signal of your environmental commitment. As the environmental policy must be approved by the management, it ensures the involvement of the very highest hierarchical levels of your company. Indeed, the environmental policy is further proof of the many parallels between CP and the EMS in that both programmes insist on the formulation of such a policy. In this part, you will find out all about the content and requirements of a good environmental policy. Good practical examples are described in the appendix. Environmental policy This firm "rooting" of the concept of preventive environmental action in the company is based on the following argument: Only a well informed workforce that feels involved is motivated enough to contribute to the project and take responsibility. 3 Main Menu Teachers notesTeachers' notes
  • 4. Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation In the second chapter of the brochure, you will find systematically presented information and suitable examples concerning the focal issues mentioned above. Please contact the address indicated in the front of this dossier if you wish to borrow sheets for motivation lectures in your company. Information You should then proceed by adapting the general working documentation in part 3 to the special situation in your company. This task is made easier by the worksheets and the example of the brewery used in all parts of the CP manuals. Worksheets In Part 4, a summary of the results of activities initiated by you with the aid of this brochure provides the management with an overview of the work carried out to date and future plans. Summary So, we invite you to study this working dossier at leisure for 1 or 2 hours in order to optimise your project implementation strategies and streamline your activities to make your project a success. HINTS If the company has less than (or approximately) 20 employees, it makes little sense to set up an environmental team. In any case, it is useful to identify existing structures in the company which could potentially perform the tasks of an environmental team. ! ! ! ! ! If you are a member of the management, items 3 and 6 are obviously of no relevance for you. However, you should try to secure the co- operation of the workforce, for instance by organising a tender of ideas and by involving them in the analysis of strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately, it is impossible to define a time frame for item 4. Ultimately, the time required to organise an information event depends very much on the company. Perhaps you can use internal celebrations, such as the Christmas party, to provide information about the project. Alternatively, your in-house magazine may be a suitable channel for a presentation of the project. During your first meeting with the management, you should find out whether or not the co-workers will be able to profit from savings made as a result of their proposals. A system of financial or non-material incentives will stimulate long term co-operation. 4 Main Menu Teachers notesTeachers' notes

Implementation of A Preventive Environmental Action Programme - Getting The Management On Board Presenting the pros to the management Information and motivation are the pillars of success. At an information meeting with the management, the following questions need to be answered: Why do we introduce a programme to avoid waste and emissions? Evaluation As part of the project, you evaluate the following aspects of the company: Organisation, structure - in order to set up an environmental team, introduce an environmental information system tailored to the needs of the company and define responsibilities by means of job profiles Legal requirements - not just to comply with current legislation, but also to anticipate imminent developments and prepare for future challenges Environmental technology - to analyse the flow of materials and energy balance with the aim of optimising the input of raw materials and energy and employing the most efficient production technology. These measures all help to minimise the environmental impact of production. The benefits of CP Proactive rather than reactive approach - active prevention rather than waiting for an order to tidy up the mess Benefits Reduced environmental impact of the actions of the company Improved economic situation of the company through optimised input of materials and energy Motivated workforce 5 Main Menu Teachers notesTeachers' notes

Reduced liability potential by taking preventive action Fewer problems with the authorities and neighbours More efficient co-operation Preparation and building of a foundation for the introduction of an environmental management system What system do you apply in order to implement a programme to avoid waste and emissions? In line with the basic philosophy of preventive environmental action in the company, emissions and waste are perceived as weak points. All producers of major volumes of waste or hazardous waste– often due to the use of harmful input materials – are identified by tracking the waste product (the SYMPTOM) back to its source, which is subsequently treated according to the PRU (prevention before reduction and utilisation) principle. The following principle applies: Idea Less waste through reduced input. After all, you can't throw what you never bought. Method The operations of the company are analysed by means of a targeted material and energy flow analysis. To start with, an input/output analysis is made for the most important material flows. If required, certain aspects of the material flow can be analysed in greater detail.

  • 8. Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation You must look for some simple examples from your company that will document the benefits of CP for your company. The worksheets contain some examples from a fictitious brewery. Examples from your company 2.3 ! ! ! How do you motivate your co-workers? Presenting the pros to your co-workers Your co-workers fulfil many duties at different levels of the company. They can move a lot at the very sources of production of waste and emissions. However, certain measures must be taken to motivate them and convince them of the importance of their co-operation. They need to be told why (see also "Presenting the pros to the management", chapter 2.1)Providing information what (pollutants and expensive input materials), and how (see also "Criteria of the analysis of weak points”, dossier 1) they can make a difference.The best way to do it is to organise an information event as proposed in the work section. If the co-workers feel that the importance of their work is appreciated by the company, they will be willing to accept responsibility for their tasks. Even the responsibility for seemingly simple work such as separating waste must be assigned to a "team". Delegating responsibility You and the management must reward these activities and the initiative of the co-workers through praise and/or a scheme of financial participation in the savings. Praise In its interaction with the outside world, the company's commitment for the environment should be both visible and credible. The participation in a project for the protection of the environment (for instance CP), the choice of ecologically produced and packaged promotional gifts, the adoption of ecologically sound purchasing strategies, the formulation of an environmental policy by the management, publications about the company's commitment to preventive environmental action in the daily press etc. – combined with tangible activities for the protection of the environment – will ensure the lasting co-operation of the workforce. A policy of two-way communication with the general public will convince the workforce that they are working for a "good, ecologically aware" company. Consolidating the company's image 8 Main Menu Teachers notesTeachers' notes
  • 9. Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation Positive examples of environmental action by the management and the co- operation of apprentices - for instance by painting the waste collection points - will help motivate the workforce and thus consolidate the idea of preventive environmental action. Setting examples The table below shows the potential benefits to the workforce from their participation in a programme to avoid waste and emissions. Showing benefits Benefits Examples financial: Incentives and bonuses 1. Bicycle lottery: You could organise a draw for everybody who cycled to work that day. The prize is 15,- €. 2. Participation in the financial benefits obtained as a result of an internal proposal 3. General bonuses for savings personal: Competitions, ecological gifts, training, possibility of promotion 1. Good proposals and commitment are considered when it comes to promoting members of the workforce. 2. Better reputation in the company 3. Increased motivation through competitions and gifts ("green ticket" from the public transport operator) other: 1. “Green information hotline” 2. Information leaflets, company magazines, "Eco bulletin board" 3. Internal system to stimulate the submission of proposals by the workforce - tender of ideas 9 Main Menu Teachers notesTeachers' notes
  • 10. Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation 2.4 Anticipation of counterarguments (cons) and obstacles Supporting your argumentation Please do not be irritated by opposition against your work to motivate the management and the workforce. Your opponents may voice some of the following arguments: 23 PROVEN AND SUCCESSFUL "IDEA KILLERS" Project assassins 1. Don't forget, we have to make money, too. 2. You will never be able to sell these ideas to the management. 3. Let's think about the details later. 4. I know that it won't work. 5. We are too big / too small for this. 6. We tried / thought about this one before. 7. This is bound to be too expensive. 8. This is neither the time nor the place for such a discussion. 9. It means work. 10. We have always done it like this - why change now? 11. You don't seem to get the problem. 12. Let's discuss this later. 13. Our company (our situation) is different. 14. Let somebody else try this first. 15. This does not tie in with out long-term plans. 16. Talk to such and such, that's his task. 17. We have already overspent / used up this year's budget. 18. It won't work and it is against our strategy. 19. We have no time to spare for this. 20. It sounds good in theory, but in practice it is another story.... 21. We don't have enough / not the right employees. 22. We are not ready for this idea yet. 23. It is too late to change now... 10 Main Menu Teachers notesTeachers' notes
  • 11. Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation Arguments Don't let yourself be steamrollered by these counterarguments. Think who uses which arguments. Don't try to shrug them off by saying "Oh ah, I've heard this one before!" – prove them wrong with intelligent, well prepared answers, pointing out examples from your company. There will always be a certain degree of reluctance and resistance against an innovative project that involves change, such as CP. The following summary gives you an overview of different obstacles you may be faced with: Opposition General problems and opposition Resistance against any kind of change.! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Only laws and regulations are considered as guidelines. The manufacturer believes that his facility is the best - no scope for manipulation and optimisation. Environmental issues are underestimated. Short-term thinking and planning. Attitudes such as "protection of the environment costs a lot." Organisational obstacles No information or data available. Position of the waste representative unclear. Authority and responsibilities of members of the environmental team unclear. Rigid hierarchy. Economic obstacles Lack of funds. Badly set priorities. Lack of economy – assets that are difficult to express in figures, such as the image of the company, are simply ignored. Before you initiate an CP programme in your company, you have to diagnose possible obstacles in your company in order to address these problems in your argumentation. 11 Main Menu Teachers notesTeachers' notes
  • 12. Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation Resistance against innovation As we have mentioned earlier, you must be aware that CP will not be whole-heartedly embraced by all of your colleagues. However, don't let this discourage you - it is a typical reaction to innovation. If you want to push through innovative ideas, you will usually find that there are five groups of people whose response to your request of co-operation with the CP project differs dramatically. Response to innovative ideas 1. Innovators Five different groups Description: Innovators like to take risks, they are more than willing to give new ideas a chance; however, they are often regarded with suspicion by their colleagues. 2. Early followers Description: Although early followers are very much open to change and innovation, they do not really like to take risks; early followers usually enjoy wide-spread acceptance among their co-workers. Unofficially, the group of early followers often takes the lead when it comes to spreading new ideas. 3. Early majority Description: The early majority is well informed, but would not consider anything new before it is sufficiently tested. However, they do not want to "lag behind" and contribute actively when it comes to spreading new ideas. 4. Late majority Description: The late majority is rather sceptical when it comes to change; they prefer to wait. There is relatively little preparedness to change and innovate. 5. Laggards Description: This group categorically refuses change and concentrates on the past, not the future. Waverers are usually isolated and find little acceptance among their colleagues. You know your colleagues sufficiently to assign them to one of these groups. You must concentrate on the first three groups - ultimately, they will be the ones to actively support your CP work. Do not take too much notice of groups 4 and 5. The energy it would take to convince them is better invested elsewhere. 12 Main Menu Teachers notesTeachers' notes
  • 13. Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation 2.5 ! ! ! ! How do I set up an environmental team? The key to the success you are looking for lies in the co- operation of a committed workforce. If the size and structure of your company is suitable, you should set up an environmental team. As the organisation of smaller entities is relatively simple, it is not necessary to set up an official team; the contribution of committed co-workers to a programme of preventive environmental action does not necessarily require an organised framework. In some enterprises, the existing organisational and information structure may even be suitable for an integration of tasks of the environmental team. You should set up an environmental team because your company consists of different departments/units; on your own, you do not have the necessary "bird's eye view" of the organisation, and you lack the necessary technological know-how; Reasons to set up an environmental team because you will choose committed and competent co-workers to address different environmental issues; because if you wish to install an environment management system according to EMAS or ISO 14001, you will have to show that the development and implementation of your company's environment programme is supported by a suitable structure; because as a TEAM – with a common goal – you are so much stronger than a lone warrior. Environmental manager and environmental team Returning to the last statement, it cannot be overstressed that it is simply not enough to appoint an environment and waste representative in the company, to expect him to deal with all environmental aspects and to carry out the CP project all by himself. His tasks include the co-ordination of the project, the provision of information and the representation of the project before the management. Tasks of the environment representative 13 Main Menu Teachers notesTeachers' notes
  • 14. Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation However, in order to successfully conclude a project, he needs the support of a working team. The environmental team is responsible for the consolidation of ecological principles at all levels of the company. Together with the environment and waste representative, it plans implementation and information strategies. It updates the internal environment programme. It co-operates with all levels and "services" the internal information channels. Tasks of the environmental team This explains the importance of rooting the environmental team in the company structure and giving it authority to influence procedures with environmental impact. Consequently, the members of the environmental team shall be included in the organisation chart. Choice/selection of TEAM members: Try to choose a good mix of committed co-workers from the different departments of the company. Pick them from key positions. The list below shows possible "fields of activity": Organisation, production, engineering, maintenance, materials administration, purchasing, acceptance, sales, buildings, quality assurance, accounting, personnel department, legal department, management, consultant, works committee, planning, development, environment, safety, energy, company doctor... Fields of activity for the team Not all of these areas need to be involved. After all, if the team is too big, it is inefficient because discussions take too long. However, consult the organisation chart of your company to check whether all relevant positions are duly represented. Even at this stage, you should ensure that the tasks of the members of your team are clearly described. This description is later translated into a job profile. An example for the management representative is found in the appendix. 14 Main Menu Teachers notesTeachers' notes
  • 15. Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation Planning the first meeting of the environmental team: As soon as you know who you want to work with, you can organise the first meeting. The meeting will address the following issues: Meeting of the environmental team Explanation of personal and technical reasons for the establishment of the environmental team. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Together, choose a name for the team. In the course of the discussion you have the opportunity to create a vivid and positive atmosphere by suggesting unconvential names such as “waste-watchers” or ”green wonder boys” Then, make your first company screening with respects to the finding of common aims and the definition of main topics in the team. HINTS: First of all, address the question of the project time input of all team members. It is best to give the CP environmental team a number. To start with, enter the time required for meetings and team discussions held within the scope of CP events plus additional time for investigation and literature research. Meet frequently in the beginning and then phase in a monthly interval between meetings. There should be a minimum of four meetings per year. Do not forget to invite your boss to these meetings. Tell him about the agenda. In the beginning, you have to check that the information is handed down from the team members to the co-workers in the individual fields of activity. During the introduction phase, prepare at least one report every quarter. Have external or internal experts temporarily join your team to address special issues. To get other co-workers involved in the project at an early stage, you can have them join the name finding session for your team. You could think of 3 names for your team, possibly with a logo, put them to the vote and in this way let your colleagues decide which name the team will adopt. It is best to put up posters at a central point in the company – alternatively, you can use the information meeting to put the name suggestions to the vote. In this way, you have successfully informed your colleagues, involved them in the initial stages and maybe won them over. 15 Main Menu Teachers notesTeachers' notes
  • 16. Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation 2.6 Motivation of co-workers A constant challenge to the management, the project manager and everybody involved! Your CP project can only be a success if it is driven by keen and committed co-workers whose motivation remains high at all times (see 2.2). For any field of activity and the company culture as such, (permanently) motivated co-workers are a necessity. Just how far the views of the management and of the workforce differ when it comes to the wishes and needs of co-workers is illustrated by the following table. Based on a survey conducted in several companies, the table compares the needs of the co- workers as seen by the management and by the workforce itself. Wishes and needs of the co-workers in the eyes of the management in the eyes of the workforce 1. high income 1. recognition of good work 2. good working conditions 2. detailed knowledge of products and the company's mission .. 3. consideration of personal concerns .. 4. safe job .. 5. high income .. 6. "polite management" .. 9. recognition of good work 9. good working conditions 10. detailed knowledge of the company's mission Source: A Survey of Companies, Institute of Occupational Training, Berlin In practice, this shows that the management often misunderstands the needs of its workforce. In fact, aspects such as praise and recognition as well as an in-depth knowledge of the mission are much more important than the management would generally believe. It is only by understanding the principles and goals of the company that the workforce will identify with the mission and efficiently work for its fulfilment. 16 Main Menu Teachers notesTeachers' notes
  • 17. Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation Finally, it is useful to list some aspects you should never forget when you are building a committed team – be it for an "ecological" project such as CP or for any other project. If you want, you can use the following list as a checklist for your project: How do I motivate the workforce? Focal issue: How do I motivate my co-workers? Praise and recognition # Openness # Information # Delegation = passing on responsibility # Painstaking preparation of work # Getting the management to set a positive example # Get across your vision and not only quantity targets # Joint activities outside the company # Offer training # Thoroughly planned and regular meetings # Importance of language (not staff but co-workers!) # Knowing and addressing the wishes/needs of your co-workers # Addressing private problems # Stressing the fun aspect # ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! If your project is an "ecological project", observe the following guidelines: ! The workforce should be well informed: $ they should know and discuss the environmental policy # $ they should know, discuss and be able to influence the ecological targets / the environment programme # $ they should know the (documentation of) environmental performance # Recognition of work (environmental team and/or individuals) # Management to set a positive example of ecological action # Tender of ideas for good ecological solutions # "Eco-hotline" # "Eco bulletin board" for announcements/information # Addressing of private problems (related to the environment) # Agreeing targets # Description of environment-related tasks in the jobs profile # Introduction of a suitable waste separation system at the workplace # ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 17 Main Menu Teachers notesTeachers' notes
  • 18. Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation HINTS: Make the issue of motivating the workforce the subject of a brainstorming session of the environmental team and write down all ideas. Immediately take up suggestions that are easily put into practice! You will soon discover the hidden potential of your co-workers and colleagues! Motivation of the management and co-workers Just how important it is for the management to set a positive example has already been mentioned in chapter 2.2. The visible commitment of the management to the CP project will mobilise the workforce because it shows that the management "lives" environmental awareness and does not just dish out orders. Credible principles and their implementation are great motivators. Looking up to the management Of course, the existing organisational structure is bound to influence the implementation of an innovative project such as CP. In today's commercial and industrial environment, many different styles of leadership are practised: authoritarian leadership (based on obedience), consultative leadership (based on advice), participatory leadership (based on recommendation) and co-operative leadership, which involves a certain degree of joint and autonomous decision-making. Naturally, the style of leadership in your company directly affects your environmental team. A more co-operative leadership style obviously leaves the group – and therefore the environmental team – more scope for decision-making. Style of leadership If you are interested in the subjects of leadership style/management strategies, please study the examples given in the appendix. In a CP project, the management should of course fully support the project manager and the environmental team. In any case, the participation in the following key phases of the project is strongly recommended: Involving the management in CP approval of the project! ! ! ! ! ! ! first information meeting first meeting of the environmental team preparation and approval of the environmental policy submission of the award documentation visit by the CP auditing commission award presentation ceremony 18 Main Menu Teachers notesTeachers' notes

  • 20. Textbook 2 – Team, policy, motivation 2.8 ! ! Which issues should be addressed by an environmental policy Definition of the environmental policy If you want to install an environment management system in the company, the very first measure is to define the company's environmental policy. The environmental policy should describe the company's long term and strategic ecological goals and targets. This policy is the foundation which supports everything else, for instance the measures (goals) which are themselves translated into an environment action plan. In this way, the strategic orientation with respect to environmental action is reliably followed. The management must define the environmental policy and ensure it is made known throughout the company. According to ISO 14001 and EMAS, the environmental policy must include at least the following items: Declaration of the organisation's overall environmental performance targets and principles to provide a framework for the company's actions and for the definition of its environmental goals (ISO 14001) Definitions to ISO 14001 and EMAS Definition of the overall goals and principles of action in terms of the environment including compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations (EMAS). Based on these definitions, your environmental policy should include all issues, areas, activities and programmes in your company that do or will take place. 20 Main Menu Teachers notesTeachers' notes
