Environmental Aspects
• Environmental aspects are elements
of an organization’s activities,
products, or services that can interact
with the environment.
• Identifying your environmental aspects and
impacts
Identifying and understanding your
organisation’s environmental aspects and
impacts will help you to reduce adverse
impacts on the environment. Preparing a list
of aspects and impacts will also help you
identify opportunities to reduce waste and
thus achieve significant savings through
reduced raw material purchase and waste
disposal costs.
Once you have started to identify your
environmental aspects, you can begin to compile a
register of them.
The Register of Environmental Aspects should
contain:
• A list of all potential environmental
aspects;
• An assessment of their significance; and
• The action you propose to take to reduce the
impacts associated with those aspects that
have been identified as significant.
If applicable, develop a process flow diagram showing
the main inputs and outputs to the different stages of
your process.
