About the Energy and Environmental Division of ASQ

Mission Statement: To provide educational resources, technical information, and communication services to enable people to apply the quality principles and practices in the energy and environmental fields and to facilitate the integration of quality, environmental, safety and health management practices.

Vision: To be the preferred source for information, education, professional development, and networking for quality in the energy and environmental sectors of business and government and to be the preferred source of information, education, and networking related to the integration of quality, environmental, safety and health management systems.

Constituents: The EED has a two-part constituent base. The base has an energy component and an environmental, safety and health component. The EED supports the energy industry with quality and environmental management services and expertise and also supports all industries, businesses, and the other 21 ASQ divisions involved in the environmental, safety, and health fields. The Division is expanding into the areas of health and safety. The integration of quality, environmental, health and safety management is becoming a single departmental function in many companies (particularly those in the energy industries). The Division is sensitive to the role our members may be asked to play as such integration occurs.

Standards: The EED has four of the total of 25 standards issued by ASQ. The ASQ environmental quality systems document developed by the Division (“E-4”) has been adopted and implemented by executive order for the EPA’s QA program.
