Environmental Policies Services
An environmental policy is an agreed documented statement of a company`s stance towards the environment in which it operates. The policy is the corner stone of a company`s intent to reduce its carbon footprint, improve recycling, reduce reliance on packaging, minimising waste, improve efficiencies on finite natural resources in all of the company`s operations and all departments. All environmental commitments should be an integral part of the day-to-day activities, clearly communicated to all employees. They may also form part of an application for ISO 14001 certification or registration under the EMAS scheme.Most popular related searches

What is the best structure?
Any internal or external communication should be succinct and easily understood by the audience it is intended for and the environmental policy is no different.
Ideally it should be like a company mission statement in that it is set on one sheet of A4 paper and contains the key commitments the policy undertakes. All goals should be measurable, achievable, realistic and timebound (ie: we will do `x` by `y` date).
