Reduce - Reducing the amount of waste you produce is the best way to help the
environment

Recycle - Recycled items are put through a process that makes it possible to create

2. What is an environment management plan and how can it help
employees learn about resource usage and environmental efficiency for
the organisation?
An environmental management plan (EMP), also referred to as an impact
management plan, is usually prepared as part of EIA reporting. It translates
recommended mitigation and monitoring measures into specific actions that will be
carried out by the proponent. Depending upon particular requirements, the plan
may be included in, or appended to, the EIA report or may be a separate document.
The EMP will need to be adjusted to the terms and conditions specified in any
project approval. It will then form the basis for impact management during project
construction and operation.
The main components of an EMP are described in the table below, which reflects
practice at the World Bank. Although there is no standard format, the EMP should
contain the following:
- summary of the potential impacts of the proposal;
- description of the recommended mitigation measures;
- statement of their compliance with relevant standards;
- allocation of resources and responsibilities for plan implementation;
- schedule of the actions to be taken;
- programme for surveillance, monitoring and auditing; and
- contingency plan when impacts are greater than expected.
