Environmental Policy

Environmental Policies have become increasingly common in order for organisations to showcase that appropriate environmental practices are in place. The key is to have an environmental policy that is both easy to understand and that clearly states the aims and objectives of your organisation. A well written environmental policy helps you to meet current environmental legislation; save money in terms of consumption, waste and recycling; differentiate you from the competition and improve your reputation with stakeholders.

Your environmental policy should specifically outline;

• The organisations mission and information about its operations
• A commitment to continually improving environmental performance through regular monitoring
• Senior management’s commitment to be fully engaged in the EMS on an ongoing basis
• A commitment to managing environmental impacts
• Your compliance with any relevant environmental legislation
• Your environmental expectations from suppliers and sub-contractors
• A commitment to employee training and an ongoing awareness of environmental sustainability
