An environmental register helps an organization track the effects of its activities and document steps taken to reduce them. Organized, regularly reviewed records make inspections easier to prepare for and support better performance.
What is an environmental register?
It is a technical record of the environmental impacts associated with an organization’s activities, including measurement results, control measures, and follow-up actions. The required details depend on the organization’s activities and applicable requirements.
What does it include?
A clear structure makes the register easier to complete and review. It may include:
- Organization details, location, and operational activities.
- Sources of emissions and waste generated by operations.
- Measurement results and routine monitoring records.
- Environmental impact reduction measures and response plans.
Steps to prepare the register
- Review activities: Document processes, sites, and potential sources of impact.
- Collect data: Organize measurement results, permits, and relevant procedures.
- Identify gaps: Compare current practices with requirements and identify opportunities to improve.
- Follow up: Review and update the register when processes or requirements change.
