This document gives guidelines for the design and use of environmental performance evaluation (EPE) within an organization. It is applicable to all organizations, regardless of type, size, location and complexity.<\/p>\n
This document does not establish environmental performance levels. It is not intended for use for the establishment of any other environmental management system (EMS) conformity requirements.<\/p>\n
The guidance in this document can be used to support an organization\u2019s own approach to EPE including its commitments to compliance with legal and other requirements, the prevention of pollution and continual improvement, among others.<\/p>\n
This document is a generic standard and does not include guidance on specific methods for valuing or weighting different kinds of impacts in different kinds of sectors, disciplines, etc. Depending on the nature of the organization\u2019s activities, there is often a need to also go to other sources for additional information and guidance on sector-specific topics, different subject matters or different scientific disciplines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
