About This Document

In the ISO 14001 Assignment, we will discuss Environmental Management System. The opus of the global atmospheric and impact of climate stability has been altered by the increase in the emission of greenhouse gas. Also, climate change has highly been affected by the food sector, since, its production leads to a large share of anthropogenic emissions. The olive oil industry, in particular, the Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is highly exported in Europe. Its general manufacturing process is hazardous if not taken care of.

EMS Project2The opus of the global atmospheric and impact of climate stability has been altered by theincrease in the emission of the greenhouse gas. Also, climate change has highly been affected bythe food sector, since, its production lead to a large share of the anthropogenic emissions. Theolive oil industry, in particular, the extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is highly exported in Europe.Its general manufacturing process is hazardous if not taken care off.The research aimed at evaluating the GHG emissions and energy consumption associatedwith production of EVOO, produced in Perugia (Petak, 2013). The approach followed was acradle- to- grave. End results were useful in identification of strategies for mitigation of GHGemission. Activities like field operations, fertilization and soil management, were considered inthe agricultural phase of the olive oil production.The EVOO production undergoes the following process cultivation of the olive treeentailing mowing, fertilization, pest and disease control, pruning and harvesting; production ofEVOO that is transport of raw materials to the mill, loading, de-branches, milling extraction,spreading of coproducts, cleaning the machines, bottling and freezing; packaging, distributionand the final disposal.In addition, technical solutions were implemented so as to reduce energy consumptionsand GHG emissions. For instance, transport system was improved as air crafts were used totransport the EVOO bottles (GISKey Environmental Data Management System, 2014). Hence,methodologies applied like the LCA, orchard fertilization, use of lighter bottles, ammonia as acoolant among others was aimed at ensuring that the effects of the GHG emissions to theenvironment are mitigated, and its benefits maximized.
