Interface Insights: Environmental Aspects

Introduction:

What are Environmental Aspects? Environmental Aspects refers to elements of an organisation’s activities, products or services that can influence/interact with the environment. It focuses on various different aspects such as energy consumption, waste generation, emissions and resource use. Recognising these environmental risks and assessing these elements, helps organisations pinpoint areas where they can reduce their ecological footprint, and become more environmentally friendly.
