- In October 2002, ISO signed a Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) with ArTech giving permission for the use
of its name in the title of The Kids' ISO
14000 Programme and allowing ArTech to use the
ISO logo to demonstrate the organization's support.
- In October 2003, ISO signed a new MoU under
which ISO Central Secretariat pledged active support by using
its communication media to promote the programme, and by encouraging
its dissemination worldwide through ISO's network of national
standards institutes in 148 countries.
 ISO
Secretary-General Alan Bryden commented: "Just about everyone
is agreed on the need to 'do something' to control the
negative impacts of man's activities on the environment. Practical
tools for achieving this, and for improving environmental performance,
are provided by International Standards like the ISO
14001 environmental management system standard that is
implemented by more than 50 000 organizations in 118 countries."
"Therefore, it is normal that ISO should
respond positively to ArTech's desire for cooperation because
its programme demonstrates even to young children that the small,
practical steps they take can have incremental, positive results."
