And Resolve Mutual Environmental Issues• Integrate Stakeholder Issues Into The EMS Process• Establish And Measure EMS Objectives And Targets

Consistent With Various Organizational Priorities

• How Will We Know That We Are Making Progress?• Establish Criteria To Identify/Define Impacts• Commitment To Individual Objectives To Improve

Performance/Reduce Impacts • Define Performance Indicators And Measurement

Protocols (Targets)• Examples:

• Low Or Non VOC Paints• New Gas Cans• Alternative Vehicles

15



• Examples (Continued)

• Restrictions On High Ozone Days• Employee Awareness Programs

• Track Targets – Capture Data

• Share And Disseminate Information

• Facilitate Ease Of Replication

16



• Ultimately…• Monitor And Measure Improvements In Seven

Outcome Areas• Shared Best Management Practices• Cost Effective Strategies And Savings • Strengthened Intergovernmental Relationships• Stakeholder Confidence• Environmental Performance And Stewardship• Ability To Avoid Restrictions That Impact The
