Determine and implement organisational objective and targets for environmental performance

​
This standard describes the skills and knowledge required to determine and implement organisational objectives and targets for environmental performance.  The standard looks at the identification of organisational objectives and targets and the development of a plan to implement these.

This standard is suitable for:

·        A manager with responsibility for environmental management and/or sustainability
·        An owner/manager of a business seeking to improve the environmental performance of the organisation
·        An individual with a specific brief to review environmental performance
·        An environmental management systems co-ordinator or equivalent
·        A consultant providing environmental advice.

This standard covers the determination and implementation of objectives and targets using good practice.

It includes the identification, measurement and communication of current practice and the communication to all those involved in the implementation of organisational objective and targets for environmental performance.

Those involved in determining and implementing organisational objectives and targets for environmental performance, need to be involved in carbon accounting and Life Cycle Assessments of their products, services, and activities.  This will involve assessing their own carbon footprint of their products and services, as well as making decisions on who to purchase resources from, through evaluating their natural capital accounting and their cardon accounting.  Organisations need to be accountable for how they manage their impact on the environment, they need to become more sustainable.  The organisation needs to look at their carbon impact at global as well as a local level.  This will also involve assessing the impact.
