Examples of Approaches for Proactive Communications in an Environmental Management System
The Implementing Instructions for Executive Order 13423 require agencies to commit to proactive communications with interested parties, ideally as part of their environmental management systems (EMSs). From 2003 to 2005, the Office of the Federal Environmental Executive led a team, consisting of Federal and state agencies, that created a cross-walk identifying available guidance documents regarding environmental communications. The intent of these documents is to assist organizations in developing proactive communications procedures and processes using the EMS Plan, Do, Check, Act model.
