Region 7 Environmental Policy
An organization is required to develop an environmental policy statement that is specific to its mission, work activities, and environmental concerns unique to its location. The statement must be signed by the organization's senior management representative and must include a commitment to compliance obligations to which the organization subscribes, to pollution prevention, and to continual improvement of the environmental management system (EMS). The policy must be reviewed periodically and communicated to all employees.
Region 7's environmental policy statement is incorporated into a broader Sustainability Policy Statement, which demonstrates our dedication to utilizing the power of our EMS to embrace the highest standards of sustainability, while achieving outstanding environmental stewardship. In addition to commitments to compliance, pollution prevention, and continual improvement, the Region 7 policy statement includes various commitments to achieve higher, long term levels of environmental performance; to be a leader in embracing the tenants of sustainability; and to empower our staff to engage in sustainable practices and principles in a variety of settings. If you have questions about the environmental policy statement, please use the Contact Us link or send a direct message to John Begley.
