Summary of Changes from Previous Version

4 November 2022 – The Environmental Management System Manual is expired on publication of the revised Environmental Sustainability Policy approved and published on 4 November 2022.


12 December 2016 - Preliminary review completed - no changes required.

The DDS page has been updated to remove outdated references to the Greening UWS Action Plan and the Sustainability Framework and renamed to reflect a direct link with the EMS Manual.

The associated EMS Manual sets out the functional relationship between components documents comprising the UWS EMS. This documented has been streamlined to more succinctly describe the components and operation of the EMS, and to reflect oversight and review by the UWS Environmental Management Committee. The incorporation of reference to an Environmental Risk Register aligns the EMS with broader current UWS risk management.
