Key takeaways

  • Clause 4.2 requires identifying interested parties and their environmental needs and expectations.
  • Interested parties span regulators, customers, communities, NGOs, investors, suppliers, and insurers.
  • Expectations should be captured systematically and translated into concrete environmental commitments.
  • Organizations must distinguish voluntary expectations they adopt from legal requirements they must meet.
  • The output of Clause 4.2 feeds directly into Clause 6.1.3 on compliance obligations.
