What is an Environmental Statement?

An Environmental Statement is a public document that provides an overview of the environmental impact of a company’s operations, activities, and processes. It outlines the company’s environmental objectives, goals, and performance, while also detailing any steps being taken to reduce negative environmental effects.

Typically, an Environmental Statement includes the following:

• Environmental Impacts: A detailed account of the direct and indirect environmental impacts of the company’s operations, including emissions, waste generation, water consumption, energy use, and resource management.
• Sustainability Objectives: The organization’s environmental goals and objectives, such as reducing carbon emissions, conserving natural resources, or improving energy efficiency.
• Mitigation Measures: The strategies and actions the company is implementing to mitigate environmental impacts and improve sustainability.
• Compliance Status: A report on the company’s compliance with local, national, and international environmental laws, standards, and regulations.
• Performance Indicators: Key metrics and performance indicators that track the company’s environmental performance over time.
• Future Plans: Short- and long-term goals for improving environmental practices and sustainability initiatives.

For companies required by law, environmental statements are often submitted to regulatory bodies as part of their annual reporting requirements. In some cases, these statements may be a part of broader sustainability or corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting frameworks.
