A2.3.1.1 Issues to Consider
Before you develop a plan to improve environmental performance, you need to consider a variety of issues. Management may not be interested in being the most environmentally responsible company at any cost, but they may want to have a higher level of performance than their competitors.
Some relevant issues might be:
- What are the implications?
- Can you save money?
- Can you improve efficiency?
- Can you increase compliance?
- What if you cannot control a risk properly?
- What are your competitors doing?
- What does your trade organisation / industry body have to say?
- Has technology moved on? / Will technology move on & when?
