It includes the ongoing monitoring and adjusting of responses to the regulatory environment and organisational situation.This unit applies in organisations that are/may be impacted by sustainability regulation. Some possible applications are carbon containment/reduction schemes/regulations or incentives or other schemes that may be implemented.

The manager or technical specialist may undertake this alone or as part of a team.The technical measurement of operational performance or measurement of emissions or other environmental impact is not covered by this unit.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
