Environmental controls in virtual company
Assign topic to the user
Answer:
The first question is what are significant aspects in your company? The significant aspects will dictate what controls will be applied. In case of your company, the only significant environmental aspect is electronic waste, but considering the nature of your business, application of conventional operational controls will be redundant considering the effort invested and the achieved results and environmental impact.
The best control in your case is to require from your employees to deploy the electronic waste to authorized local recycling organization and to present you with the receipt. You don't even have to document the guideline, you can sim ply prescribe this as a rule. Another way to implement the operational controls is to organize awareness raising sessions for your employees regarding environmental protection.
