An organization should have a systematic approach for measuring and monitoring its environmental performance on a regular basis. Monitoring involves collecting information, such as measurements or observations, over time. Measurements can be either quantitative or qualitative. Monitoring and measurements can serve many purposes in an environmental management system, such as
a) tracking progress on meeting policy commitments, achieving objectives and targets, and continual improvement,
b) developing information to identify significant environmental aspects,
c) monitoring emissions and discharges to meet applicable legal requirements or other requirements to which the organization subscribes,
d) monitoring consumption of water, energy or raw materials to meet objectives and targets,
e) providing data to support or evaluate operational controls,
f) providing data to evaluate the organization’s environmental performance, and
g) providing data to evaluate the performance of the environmental management system.
