Does your organisation have an environmental policy?
A failure to consider and address environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues such as the impact of the organisation's business operations and the activities of its supply chains on the environment, can have reputational, financial and legal consequences. Therefore, it is important for an organisation to set clear expectations for its own business operations and its supply chains through policies and programs.
The Checklist, Drafting an environmental policy is designed to help an organisation understand why an environmental policy is important and sets out key considerations to assist an organisation to draft and implement an effective environmental policy.
