Abstract

The Environmental Performance (EP) of an organisation is defined as results of an organisation's management of its environmental aspects. In the context of environmental management systems these results can be measured against the organization's environmental policy (i.e. overall intentions and direction of an organization related to its environmental performance as formally expressed by top management), environmental objectives (overall environmental goals, consistent with the environmental policy, that an organization sets itself to achieve) and environmental targets (i.e. detailed performance requirements, applicable to the whole organization or parts thereof, that arise from the environmental objectives and that need to be set and met in order to achieve those objectives), and other environmental performance requirements.
