What is environmental performance?

Environmental performance objectively measures the impacts of an organization's environmental policies. If your organization has set targets for its environmental footprint or an environmental management system, it is important to verify whether these actions are having the desired effect. An environmental performance assessment uses benchmarks to measure the impact of your policies.

How can you apply environmental management practices?

Management system standards provide a structured approach to help organizations achieve their sustainability goals. These standards can be applied to topics such as environment, energy, assets and facilities. When management systems are effectively implemented, they can help organizations reduce waste, mitigate emissions, lower energy-consumption and cut costs.
