As a 3rd party quality assurance and engineering company, Pro QC International is promoting awareness of environmental audits within the supply chain to ensure that these issues are properly measured and continuously improved.Benefits of integrating supplier environmental management within the supply chain includes an increase in market competitiveness and can be implemented by any organization regardless of its activity or sector. The International Organization for Standardization advises an environment management system “helps organization identify, manage, monitor and control their environmental issues a holistic manner.”
Pro QC International provides quality control and engineering solutions in over 38 countries. Whether we're testing products, auditing suppliers, inspecting shipments or managing corrective actions, our skilled team of QA professionals represents the quality interests of our clients at factories worldwide.
Jean Champlain, Pro QC International’s Supplier Development Manager in China says, “a natural benefit of most sustainability efforts is a reduction in costs. Looking for ways to reduce consumption (raw materials, energy, etc.) will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of business practices and exploring new and innovative products and services will result in operational performance.”
When asking about his experience on-site in factories throughout Asia, Champlain indicates, “there is a trend noted regarding ensuring sustainability as a result of vendor pressure. For example, many suppliers integrate environmental management due to requirements set by Walmart, BSCI, EICC, WCA, etc. There is not much self-engagement in the field, but the expectation is that this will change with increased awareness.”
In recognition of Earth Day, Pro QC is offering a promotion on ISO 14001-based audits throughout China. These include a review of general requirements, environmental policy, planning, legal requirements, objectives and targets, resources and responsibilities, training, documentation and more.
