A fully resourced plan to manage potential impacts to the environment should be developed. It is likely that aspects will be known to the Delivery Team prior to commencement of the POEMS Process. This procedure should allow the Delivery Team to budget, resource tasks that may be required to assess the significance of the impacts from the project and to demonstrate that any significant impacts are minimised or reduced, as far as reasonably practicable.

Continuous review should ensure that outputs from all EMPs are kept up to date with overall project and other developments. A review should be part of a planned process of the revision of outputs as the project progresses in order to incorporate improved or amended information, or as the result of audit findings. This procedure assists the Delivery Team in continuous review and improvements to their projects

Setting objectives and targets are vital in helping to maintain environmental performance and drive continuous improvement. This procedure should help Delivery Teams identify objectives and targets related to impacts or aspects assessed as medium or high priority.
