4 Environmental performance evaluation
4.1 Overview
4.1.1 Environmental performance evaluation process
Environmental performance evaluation (EPE) is a management process that uses key performance parameters to evaluate the organization's past and current environmental performance
Compare with its environmental goals and indicators. Information generated from EPE can help organizations.
---Identify environmental factors and determine which factors are important;
---Establish goals and indicators to improve environmental performance, and evaluate environmental performance based on these goals and indicators;
---Identify opportunities for better management of its environmental factors;
---Identify the trend of its environmental performance;
---Review and improve efficiency and effectiveness;
---Identify strategic opportunities;
---Assess the risk of compliance or non-compliance with laws, regulations and other requirements related to the environmental factors determined by the organization;
---Report and communicate environmental performance inside and outside the organization.
The organization should make management commitments for environmental performance evaluation, and should regard environmental performance evaluation as a regular business function and activity of the organization
a part of. Environmental performance evaluation should be appropriate to the organization's size, location, type, and its own needs and priorities.
Internally, environmental performance evaluation can help organizations achieve their environmental performance goals and indicators, while also supporting their inclusion in environmental management.
理系统。 In the management system. Environmental performance evaluation can also be used to report and exchange information about the environmental performance of the organization to external parties to prove its improvement
Commitment to environmental performance.
As described in this standard, environmental performance evaluation follows the "plan-implement-check-improve" (PDCA) management model. Step by step
The process steps are as follows.
a) Planning
Prepare to implement environmental performance evaluation.
---Planning performance evaluation;
---Select environmental performance evaluation parameters (when selecting parameters for environmental goals and indicators, you can choose existing parameters, or you can establish new parameters
number).
b) Implementation
Manage data and information, including.
---Collect data related to the selected parameters (for guidance on data collection, please refer to ISO /T S14033);
---Analyze data and transform it into information describing the environmental performance of the organization;
---Evaluate the organization's environmental performance information against the organization's environmental performance goals;
---Report and exchange information on the environmental performance of the organization.
c) Check and improve
Review and improve EPE.
4.1.2 Environmental performance evaluation parameters
4.1.2.1 General
This standard describes two types of environmental performance evaluation parameters.
Environmental condition parameters (ECIs) provide information about environmental conditions that may be affected by the organization. This information helps to organize better geographic
Understand the actual or potential impact of its environmental factors (for example. process emissions). ECIs are often difficult to directly relate to the operation of the organization, except
This organization is the only source of pollution that emits certain types of pollutants. Any other sources that may have similar effects on the environment must be considered
Or factors. Regulatory agencies or other local government agencies can use ECIs to estimate the baseline of environmental conditions, monitor trends, and establish pollutant allowances.
Allow restrictions and formulate incentive measures.
Environmental performance parameters (EPIs) can provide information about the organization's management of its important environmental factors, and reflect the organization's environmental management plan.
result.
These parameters may be key performance parameters that the organization chooses for overall business purposes.
---Management performance parameters (MPIs) provide information on management effectiveness that has an impact on the environmental performance of the organization's management;
---Operating performance parameters (OPIs) provide environmental performance information related to the organization's operations.
Figure 1 illustrates the relationship between organizational management, operation, and environmental conditions, and indicates the EPE parameters associated with each element.
Number type.
4.3.3 Data analysis and conversion
The organization should analyze the collected data and transform it into information that expresses the organization's environmental performance, that is, environmental performance evaluation parameters. for
In order to avoid deviations in the evaluation results, all relevant and reliable data collected should be considered (see ISO /T S14033).
Organizations that have developed other accreditation schemes (e.g. environmental product declarations) can directly use relevant information in environmental performance evaluation, and
No further data analysis or conversion is required (see GB/T 24025).
Data analysis can include analysis of data quality, validity, sufficiency and completeness to ensure that reliable information is obtained.
Statistical tools can be used to improve the reliability of conclusions about whether a particular goal has been achieved. When appropriate, these tools can
Including diagrams, indicators, aggregates or weights.
4.3.4 Information evaluation (review)
Regardless of whether it has an environmental management system, the organization should plan environmental performance evaluations and set environmental performance goals in order to select appropriate
The environmental performance evaluation parameters of the organization enable the organization to express its environmental performance against these goals. All goals and indicators should have corresponding performance
parameter.
Examples of sources that can determine environmental performance targets include.
---Current and past environmental performance;
---Legal requirements;
---Recognized norms, standards and best practices;
---Performance data and information formulated by the industry and other organizations;
---Management review and audit;
---The views of related parties;
---Scientific research.
Organizations should compare information derived from performance data expressed in OPIs or ECIs with its environmental performance goals. use
Statistical tools such as testing hypotheses or other comparison methods may be helpful for such comparisons. These comparisons can indicate progress in environmental performance
Or insufficient. The results of the comparison can also help to understand the reasons why environmental performance targets are met or not. Letters that express the organization’s environmental performance
Information and comparison results should be reported to managers so that managers can take appropriate measures to improve or maintain the level of environmental performance.
4.3.5 Reporting and communication
4.3.5.1 General Guidelines
Environmental performance reports and exchanges provide useful information about the improvement and results of an organization's environmental performance (see GB/T 26450).
According to the needs of managers and followers, this information can be reported and exchanged among internal and external parties. Environmental performance communication should be organizational communication
Part of the plan.
The benefits of reporting and communicating environmental performance can include.
---Help the organization to achieve environmental performance goals;
--- Improve people's awareness of the organization's environmental policy, environmental performance goals and achievements, and increase opportunities for dialogue;
---Show the organization's commitment and efforts to improve its environmental performance;
---Provide a feedback mechanism for the concern and inquiry of the organization's environmental factors.
4.3.5.2 Internal reporting and communication
Managers should ensure that appropriate and necessary information reflecting environmental performance is regularly exchanged within the organization (see
GB/T 26450). This can help employees, contractors, and those related to the organization to fully fulfill their responsibilities, and help the organization to implement
Now its environmental performance goals. The organization can consider this information when reviewing the environmental management system.
---Voluntary guidelines and standards;
---Electronic information exchange;
---Involvement of industry and public interest groups;
---Direct communication with neighbors, management agencies, customers and suppliers;
---Information obtained from the media ...
