How is your business managing its environmental impact?
Effective management of a business’s environmental impact is becoming increasingly important. Not only does it benefit the environment, it can also be good for business through cost savings, better reputation in the market, resource recovery, improved work health and safety, and compliance with requirements under environmental protection laws.
The Environmental Management Manual is a 25-page document designed to be a practical and actionable manual for any business or industry seeking to manage their environmental impact.
The documented manual outlines how a business can reduce or eliminate negative environmental impacts that may be caused by their products, services or activities, and helps to guide the business’s activities to achieve its environmental objectives.
The manual communicates to staff and other internal stakeholders how the business will minimise its impact on the environment using risk management principles and displays a positive commitment to consider environmental impacts when making business decisions.
The Environmental Management Manual includes guidance on:
- Business context
- Leadership and commitment
- Planning
- Support
- Communication
- Operations
- Performance evaluation
- Improvement
The Environmental Management Manual is suitable as a standalone manual or as a component of an overarching Environmental Management System.
The manual is a flexible and easy to implement template, with an ability to tailor it specifically for your business needs. It is compatible with Microsoft Word and editable to add your business’s brand logo and colours.
Note: This is a documented manual only. To receive third party certification, you must incorporate the relevant policies, procedures, forms and registers.
