Environmental Management for 2022

The new year 2022 is only a few weeks away and it's time to start thinking about environmental goals for the coming year. For the individuals that must manage this responsibility, remember the goals you establish should have common sense objectives that are achievable and measurable. The question of where the ideas come from is pretty simple as well - just think about your risky activities, opportunities to improve, legal issues, and objectives that can be either on-going or time-bound.

The plans and actions you pull together to achieve them answer the questions of who, what, when, where, and how. We already know the why - to improve your environmental management system. It's that simple.

On behalf of UT CIS Energy and Environmental Program, may your New Year plans come together in a positive and meaningful way. Here's to a safe and productive new year for you and your employees.
