Experience shows that maintaining a true CIP is a great challenge for most companies and other organizations participating in ISO 14001 and/or EMAS. After a few years of periodically setting new environmental targets, they face problems in finding new opportunities for environmental protection. This will eventually slow down further corporate development, and these organizations risk to loose credibility, motivation, and certification.

enviroCIP is an approach to support organizations and EMS-experts worldwide in order to avoid such slow-downs in a practical way. The enviroCIP.com-website is a platform freshly started to build a network for all involved in Environmental Management Systems and their development. One of the goals of the network is to spread experiences, news, questions, ideas and more globally, in order to maintain and push CIP in the hundreds of thousands of companies and organizations worldwide which run an EMS - whether this EMS is certified or not.

Founder and developer of enviroCIP, Dr. Rene Gastl, is one of the leading experts in CIP in environmental management settings. He is the author of many academic and practice-oriented publications in this field and head consultant for organizations worldwide.
