What Should Be Included in Your Environmental Policy

1. What Should Be Included in Your Environmental Policy

2. Environmental Policy- Why You Need It? Because environmental consciousness is rising for every organization, may seek to implement the strong, consistent ISO 14001 based Environmental Management System (EMS) to control their environmental impacts. However, to achieve ISO 14001 certification for your EMS, you need to first have a distinct policy that defines your goals and targets for environmental management. The next slides explain how to develop an inherent environmental policy that can help you best enforce an environmental culture and establish an EMS.

3. 3 Key Considerations for Developing Environmental Policy Practices in the Context of Your Organization Prevention of Pollution Here are what you should consider to form your environmental policy and implement an EMS smoothly. Legislative Compliance Obligations

4. 1. Practices in the Context of Your Organization The policy should, in detail, include the practices that your organization should implement to prevent its major environmental impacts and optimize the use of resources. The practices should be in context of the organization i.e., harmful impacts of your business activities including production, consumption, and transportation. For instance, a manufacturer of chemicals needs to consider best practices in its policy that prevents any leakages, spillages, and toxic contamination in its natural surroundings. 2. Prevention of Pollution The policy must include the use of fuel-efficient and resource-efficient methods that help in controlling pollution as well as preserving the resources, air, water, and soil. 3. Legislative Compliance Obligations Every organization needs to simultaneously abide by certain environmental regulations imposed by the legislative and industrial authorities. The policy must include practices for complying with those regulations to ensure that your business is safe from any penalties or legal suits.

5. Key Takeaway Having an environmental policy is an inherently important step for businesses before they achieve the ISO 14001 certification. However, the policy should be comprehensive and created wisely incorporating necessary objectives and practices in the context of your business besides including the legal compliance requirements.
