ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY & SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM
Environmental Policy Statement
As environmental awareness is moving to the forefront of our society, businesses are playing an ever increasing role in achieving a sustainable world. Your customers, employees and other stakeholders in your business want to know what your firm’s position is relative to the environment and what your company is doing to “Go Green”. By developing and implementing a Corporate Environmental Policy Statement you serve notice to your employees and interested outside stakeholders that your company is serious about its commitment to the environment and sustainability. DC Environmental will work with you to learn your company’s culture, goals and values to develop an environmental policy statement that is best suited for your company.
Sustainability
Sustainability is defined as maximizing operational efficiency while minimizing environmental impacts. The next step is to establish company policies that will support sustainability and an environmental management system (EMS) to implement and monitor the policies. The International Organization for Standards (ISO) publishes a standard, ISO 14001, that specifically addresses the various aspects of environmental management systems. The intention of ISO 14001 is to provide a framework for a holistic, strategic approach to an organization’s environmental policy, plans and actions. The result of this process allows the company to establish a common, well known reference for communicating their environmental green policy throughout their organization, customers, regulators, the public and their other stakeholders. DC Environmental will customize this plan to your company's needs and help implement it throughout your organization. An independent audit will be provided at the conclusion of the implementation to demonstrate that the environmental management system is operating effectively to conform to the ISO 14001 standards.
