The application of environmental management system based on ISO 14001 in Brawijaya Malang University

Abstract

Universitas Brawijaya (UB) Malang is one of the universities in Indonesia that having the issue of decreasing environmental quality prompted the Rector of UB to put the problem into the University’s agenda. To solve this problem, UB plans to apply international standards to support the sustainability of the University, which includes implementing an environmental management system known as ISO 14001 by using Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) analysis, AHP analysis (Analitycal Hierarcy Process). The first objective in this study is to find out the management’s condition on the readiness of the academic community to evaluate the success of the application of ISO 1400 in UB and the second objectives is to produce the extent of preparedness and progress in planning related to ISO 14001 management systems in UB. The results shows that it can be concluded that the current implementation of the environmental management system at UB still lacks the principles of ISO 14001. One of the principles in ISO 14001 that has not been applied at the University indicates lack of preparedness in a University can be seen in the lack of documentation and communication of management policies and commitments on environmental management systems.
