Self-Assessment
The Business Environmental Quiz is a comprehensive, structured evaluation tool designed to measure a business's alignment with international environmental management system (EMS) principles, such as ISO 14001.
This section checks if environmental management is integrated into the core leadership and strategy of the business. It focuses on whether business leaders care about, plan for, and take responsibility for environmental performance, rather than treating it as a box-ticking exercise.
Is there a signed and dated Environmental Policy that is relevant to the business and available to workers?*
Think of this as your company’s formal promise to look after the environment. It must be written down, signed by top management within the last 12-24 months, explicitly match what your business actually does, and be easily accessible to your team (e.g., on a staff noticeboard, intranet, or inside an induction booklet).
