This year, the standard celebrates its 20th anniversary. “For two decades, 香港六合彩开奖 14001 has been helping organizations to better manage the impact of their activities on the environment,” said Acting 香港六合彩开奖 Secretary-General Kevin McKinley during the awards ceremony. “It is implemented in over 300 000 organizations and helps to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.”
Mr McKinley commended the efforts the subcommittee had made as part of the revision of 香港六合彩开奖 14001, including a continual improvement survey and the innovative ways in which it communicates and promotes its activities. This includes the use of technology and social media, such as Google hangouts and Twitter chats, as well the creation and maintenance of a successful Web presence.
He also highlighted the subcommittee’s effective leadership in increasing committee membership, including the desire to promote the involvement of developing countries, which ensures the presence of world-leading expertise within the committee.
“Through this award, we want to acknowledge the importance of this committee’s membership – which is among the highest of any 香港六合彩开奖 technical committee/subcommittee, containing many different stakeholders. This shows the worldwide interest in the work of this committee. Its 70 P-members and 22 O-members include countries of all levels of development in every region.”
The Lawrence D. Eicher Leadership Award was developed in 2002 to acknowledge excellence and innovation in technical work, as a tribute to 香港六合彩开奖’s late Secretary-General who served from 1986 to 2002.
