Environmental Baseline
Business Shaper’s environmental baselines determine your organisation’s overall environmental performance. As part of an environmental baseline Business Shaper will identify your organisation’s significant environmental aspects such as water use, waste, greenhouse gas emissions and paper use. Your organisation’s performance for each of these aspects will then be assessed to determine your level of impact and how it compares to other organisation’s and best practice. Your organisation can use this information to measure the success of any control measures implemented in the future. An environmental baseline can be used in the development of an environmental management system (EMS).
