Policy

The environmental policy is the driver for implementing and improving the organization's environmental management system so that it can maintain and potentially improve its environmental performance.

The policy should reflect the commitment of top management to compliance with applicable laws, other requirements and continual improvement.

Policies form the basis upon which the organization sets its objectives and targets, which are developed after identifying the environmental aspects which have significant impacts.

The policy should be clear enough to be understood by internal and external interested parties. As ISO 14001 requires that the policy is available to the public, the Registry requires that organizations submit their environmental policy for publication along with their posting.
