The\nEMP can be presented during the project planning and approval application phase\nto demonstrate to regulatory agencies that the project proponent has committed\nto implementing management strategies that prevent and mitigate environmental\nimpacts during project activities. Environmental management strategies commonly\ninclude reporting systems for two purposes: implementation and external\nreporting. External reporting could include reports to regulators on\nenvironmental incidents, stakeholder reports, plan review reports, and reports\nto meet the conditions of permissions. Process Optimisation for EMP Compliance reporting\nsystem should include a list of necessary reports, along with monitoring for\nnon-compliance, environmental incidents, corrective action, and auditing. A\nstandard report content description should also be included.
