results or unpredictable results.
2 Reactive approach Problem or prevention based systematic approach;
minimum data on improvement results available.
3 Stable formal Systematic process-based approach, early stage of
system approach systematic improvements; data available on
conformance to objectives and existence of
improvement trends.
4 Continual Improvement process in use; good results and
improvement sustained improvement trends.

12
 Scheme of Award for Excellence in : Environment Management
Page 2/6

 Reducing drag-out in plating operations.

 Replacing PVC based packing
 Using paper-based buffers instead of extended polystyrene based buffers.
 Using same type of micro-etchant for all micro-etch operations in PCB manufacturing.

Resource Conservation Initiatives

 Using acidic effluent for neutralizing the alkaline effluent, using rinse water used in one
operation in some other operation.
 Using packaging material received along with raw material for packing the products.
 Copper / tin recovery in PCB industries, sulfuric / HF recovery in semiconductor industry.
 Wastewater recycling through ion-exchange, reverse osmosis, any other means of
physical or chemical treatment that allows a particular treated wastewater could be used
in individual or each subset of operations.
 Employing energy free processes, optimization of energy consumption, reduction of
energy losses, installation of energy efficient lighting.

Waste Management
 Identify source of waste generation from material handling as well as process operations.
 Conducting training programme on raw material handling, spill prevention, proper storage
techniques and waste handling procedures.
 Spill containment used in material storage area.
 Segregation of hazardous and non-hazardous packaging material, types of packaging
material and cleaning of containers before disposal
 Reduction of chemical losses, water conservation, reduction of sludge generation etc.

Emergency Preparedness and Response

Emergency plan can include:
 emergency organization and responsibilities;
 a list of key personnel with training plans
 details of emergency services (e.g. fire department, spill clean-up services);
 internal and external communication plans;
 information on hazardous materials including each material’s potential impact on
environment & measures to be taken in case of accidental release

Environment Performance Indicators (EPIs)

Indicators are a basic and important part of the environment performance evaluation process. They
facilitate the collection of meaningful data and allow accurate expression of environmental
information. This information can be used by management to minimise impacts even further.
Indicators should be established to cover all systems including management, operational and state of
the environment areas or systems.

13
 Scheme of Award for Excellence in : Environment Management
Page 3/6

EPI’s generally deal with procedures, plans and tracking. Examples include training plans, legal
requirements, resource allocation, design of control systems, setting of goals, documentation,
corrective actions, tracking of parameters and results, identification of root causes, and other activities
done primarily by management employees.

Selecting Indicators for the Operational Area

Environmental indicators for the operational area help to assess the actual discharges, waste
generated, resources used, and other aspects of the actual facility and equipment used to produce
the product or service.

EPIs for the operational areas provide information to management regarding use of resources,
energy, etc. and are inputs to the system to assess efficiency. These indicators should also assess
outputs from the system such as products, services, wastes, heat, discharges emissions, radiation
and others.
Management & Operational systems determine the level of impact on the environment. These
indicators should define ways to measure impact on plant and animal life, water, air and other
resources.

Interested Party Concern

Every organization has interested parties. It may be an individual or group concerned with or affected
by the environmental performance of that organization. Interested parties of an organization includes:
i) customers and end users,
ii) people in the organization,
iii) owners / investors (i.e., shareholders, individuals/groups, NGOs, government authorities that have a
specific interest in the organization
iv) suppliers and partners, and
v) society in terms of community and the public affected by the organization or its products.

 Organisation should share actions taken to develop a green supply chain such as EHS
priorities for suppliers, encourage its supply chain to comply with environmental criteria,
reduce wastage, get ISO 14001 certification etc.

 Similarly its product should comply with RoHS and E-Waste Regulations and contain
toxic materials such as Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, PBB & PBDE etc within defined levels
to address End of Life issues effectively.

There will be two Award Categories: A) Large B) Small & Medium Enterprise
Business Excellence is a prerequisite for the modern enterprise to sustain growth and business
expansion in today’s highly competitive era of globalization. All enterprises need to upgrade
themselves consistently to achieve world class standards throughout their business processes.

The Award for Business Excellence is based largely on achievements of companies measured with
respect to the global models on excellence which simply divides the criteria between Enablers
established by the management and Results achieved.

The selection criteria for the ELCINA-EFY Business Excellence Award are based on the following
factors -
a) 50% weightage to Enablers criteria given in the Excellence Model (explained below);
b) 50% weightage to the company's achievements in technical and financial results.

The criteria are given below along with some guidelines on how to assess and prepare the application
for the Business Excellence Award:

Enablers
Please give brief on the Policy & Strategies deployed in respect of the following:
 Business Leadership
 People Management
 Performance Management
 Knowledge Management
 Relationship Management
 Technology Management (R&D, technological innovation)
 Threat / Risk Management

Method of Self Evaluation for applicants:

Evidence about successfully defining the approach, a clear rationale, and deployment of ENABLERS
will be largely documentary in nature. Typically for the 5 enablers the following questions need to be
answered –
 Is there a clear vision and well defined approach / policy / plan in place
 Are the targets and objectives well defined
 Are there well defined processes in place to achieve the end results
 Is the approach rational and includes interests of all stakeholders
 Is there a review mechanism in place with feedback to all stakeholders

Results
 Customer results: What the organisation is achieving in relation to its external
customers. ‘External customers’ includes anyone who receives services from the
organisation – e.g. service users, customers, the general public, stakeholders and other
interested parties.
 People results: What the organisation is achieving in relation to its people (staff).

There will be two Award Categories: A) New Companies B) Existing Companies

Entrepreneurship is defined as “the practice of starting new organizations or revitalizing mature
organizations, particularly new businesses, in response to identified opportunities”.
Entrepreneurship involves qualities such as innovation, invention of new ideas, products and
processes, promotion of these products and ideas and building an organization with scarce resources.
The entrepreneur must always find alternatives and never take no for an answer.

This Award which was introduced from 2009-10, expects to discover, encourage and recognise such
entrepreneurs as well as enterprising organizations.
