minimisation of environmental risks and maximisation of opportunities to improve business environmental performance and to promote more efficient production and consumption of natural resources, for example by:
minimisation of pollution, through sound equipment operating techniques
minimisation of waste through effective storage and recycling
efficient energy use, seeking alternative sources of energy
Legislation and national standards may include:
Australian standards
award and enterprise agreements
licensing arrangements
relevant codes of practice
relevant commonwealth, state and territory legislation which affects organisational operation:
