Human Resource Management

When a workplace is following ‘best practice’ policies, they often need to be developed to include monitoring, evaluation and entrench continuous improvement. Every larger organisation needs to have an environmental policy, to help ensure they are being held accountable to the required legislative and regulatory guidelines. The environmental policy is a key document in the life of an organisation, but is usually just one page in length. This policy sets out in broad terms what the organisation will do in relation to environmental issues, complying with environmental law and protecting the environment. It should be signed off by the CEO or Chairman of the Board of Directors to demonstrate commitment from the top of the organisation. Most corporate policies are available on the company’s website and are commonly repeated in the annual report. In general, when writing a policy, you should keep in mind the size and specific needs of the organisation. Policies should be clear and concise – don’t include lengthy processes or procedures that will be difficult to maintain or comply with. The structure for policy documents will vary from organisation to organisation, Existing quality and OHS policies also need to be reviewed or re-written to be integrated with environmental policies to ensure they capture sustainability objectives. An organisation that has made a decision to develop an environmental sustainability policy (ESP) must start by identifying which parts of the organisation the policy will apply to. Is it intended for the whole organisation, one work area or project, or a combination of these? Next, it must be determined whether the organisation will take an integrated approach to sustainability or focus on one particular aspect. An integrated approach may include social, environmental and corporate governance aspects. This Study Guide focuses on environmental aspects only. The other issue to consider is how sustainability initiatives will be addressed. There are numerous approaches to implementing sustainability initiatives in the workplace. The approach illustrated throughout this Study Guide uses ISO 14001 principles as the relevant Standard to develop and implement an environmental sustainability policy (ESP).
