Environmental Policy
This step involves establishing and implementing a comprehensive Environmental Policy that outlines the organization's commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. It entails conducting an assessment of current operations to identify areas where environmental impact can be reduced or mitigated, setting clear goals and objectives for environmental improvement, and developing procedures for monitoring progress and reporting on achievements. The policy will also include guidelines for managing waste, conserving resources, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing the use of hazardous substances. This step is critical in ensuring that the organization operates in an environmentally responsible manner and complies with relevant laws and regulations.
