  1. 01

    Environmental aspects and objectives

    For this environmental management, links significant aspects to a measurable objective.

    Review first

    Criteria

    • Each aspect has a baseline in units, such as 42 L a month.
    • Each target states the formula from baseline, such as 42 L to 30 L a month by Jun 30, so the reduction can be recomputed.
    • Ranks aspects by a stated rule, such as permit limit first, then volume, and says which rule put each aspect on top.
