The organization needs to continually evaluate the suitability and effectiveness of its environmental processes to ensure they achieve their intended environmental outcomes and support the functioning of the environmental management system (EMS).
When significant changes to processes are needed, they are documented within the EMS to maintain clarity, consistency, and traceability. Changes may involve new environmental aspects, modified operational controls, updated technologies, or shifts in environmental conditions.
In systematic environmental management, all significant process changes are implemented in a controlled manner. The potential environmental impacts of these changes are first assessed, responsibilities are assigned, and the implementation of the change is monitored to ensure it does not negatively affect environmental performance or compliance obligations.
