Yes. Relevant objectives should be measurable where practicable and supported by actions, resources, responsibilities, timeframes and evaluation methods.

Yes. Certification and well-organised environmental evidence can support supplier qualification, project submissions and customer sustainability expectations.

Support can include environmental review, aspect and legal-register development, objective planning, documentation, training, audits and certification readiness.
