    There is an ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation)
    Standard for environmental quality.  I can't remember the exact
    title. I think the standard is ISO 14000.  Broadly speaking, to
    achieve accreditation you have to demonstrate that you have
    documented procedures and proof that you implement them so that as
    well as complying with all applicable laws you are also working at or
    towards best commercial practice for the particular industry that you
    are running.  Once accredited you can use the ISO logo and
    certification number in you company stationery and advertising. 
    There are regular ongoing checks too, to make sure you don't slip
    into sloppy ways! 

    Achieving accreditation is a time consuming business, and is
    unlikely to be worth the cost for a small business.  But, it may well
    be worthwhile spending just a little to get a copy of the Standard to
    see what is involved. Same comments apply to the ISO Standards for
    Quality Control, the ISO 9000 series. 

    Think global, act local.  (E. F. Schumacher)
