15. Please, identify key deliverables for an effective ems in relation to legal compliance.

These are:

• policy commitment to legal compliance and improving environmental performance;

• identification of legal and other environmental requirements mapped against operational activities, services and products;

• periodic evaluation of legal compliance to identify and remedy non-compliances through appropriate corrective and preventive actions;

• staff awareness, competencies and training required for managing legal compliance;

• operational controls and emergency preparedness to meet legal requirements;

• monitoring, audits and management review to check and make appropriate changes to controls, systems and procedures; and

• delivery of improvements where these have been identified or required by the regulator – note that this deliverable is incorporated in the above six points.

16. Please, describe the operational indicators (core and sub-) of EPE

• Sub-Indicators that Qualitatively Supplement the Core Indicators

In order to properly understand environmental activities, sub-indicators that qualitatively supplement the core indicators are necessary because the core indicators mainly measure environmental efforts quantitatively.

For example, indicators that measure the total amount of energy input are purchased energy (electricity and heat), fossil fuel, new energy.

In order to calculate the amount of greenhouse effect gasses, six substances such as carbon dioxide and methane, which are designated by the Kyoto Protocol, are measured and summed up.
