  • The policy must commit to environmental protection, compliance obligations, and continual improvement.
  • It must provide a framework for setting environmental objectives.
  • The policy must be documented, communicated internally, and available to interested parties.
  • Credible policies are specific to the organization, unlike generic templates auditors dismiss.
