 A Case Study
integrum solution facilitates ISO 14000 Certification for Major Beverage Company
Coca-Cola Amatil (CCA) is a Sydney-headquartered beverage company operating in the Asia-Pacific region and listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. As the principal Coca-Cola licensee in Australia, the company manufactures, sells, and distributes carbonated soft drinks, mineral water, and other non-alcoholic beverages. CCA adopted ISO 14001, the International Standard for environmental management, as the basis of its Environmental Management System. CCA has long been committed to minimizing waste, improving packaging, and pioneering effective recycling and litter reduction programs.
CCA first pursued ISO 14000 certification through a paper based system, with all the administration and costs associated inherent to that system of communication. After researching the availability of environmental management systems, CCA chose integrum software to manage its EH&S and quality management needs and assist the company in proceeding toward ISO 14001 accreditation. The resulting solution incorporated the continuous improvement model and included the following capabilities.
- Corrective action and incident management registers
- Policy, compliance, and procedure registers
- Hazards, risks, aspects, and impacts ranking registers
- Management programs, projects, and task planning
- Roles and responsibilities and training programs
CCA Australia streamlined its certification to ISO 14001 without investing unnecessary expense and resources, saving time and money. integrum allowed CCA to bring in its existing data, documents, and records and eliminated double entry and duplication, easily linking the company’s existing applications and systems. The software enabled the company to achieve ISO 14001 certification for all its packaging plants in Australia more quickly than would have been possible otherwise. The CCA Australia integrum system provided the tools to help communicate and implement all EH&S and quality policies, procedures, goals, plans, and actions in an efficient and effective manner.
CCA Korea, New Zealand, South Pacific, Fiji, and New Guinea also utilise integrum EH&S and quality management software.
