Compliance Obligations of the Region 7 EMS
An organization is required to identify and have access to all applicable compliance obligations or legal and other requirements (e.g., laws and local ordinances) with which it chooses to comply (i.e., voluntary standards) related to its environmental aspects ( or interactions with the environment). These requirements must be taken into account when the organization establishes and maintains its EMS, particularly when it sets the objectives and targets that will determine the level of environmental performance it wishes to achieve.
Region 7 has developed a procedure for determining which compliance obligations apply to the activities conducted within the scope of our EMS, and has compiled a list of these requirements which is provided below.
