damage they are providing to environment are being controlled and there has been improvement
in their operational process. In this process the organisation sets out their own policies, that
helps in measuring the targeted aims (Boiral and et.al., 2017). The method aims at informing
companies how they can lower down the wastage and helps in improving environmental health.
With the help of various laws and legislations the implication of this process become simple and
