Environmental Performance Indicators

We fulfilled our first year of environmental management abd I am about to prepare the management reviews using the documents "12.1_Appendix_1_Matrix_of_Environmental_Performance" and "12.2_Appendix_2_Data_Analysis_Report_EN_mb".But I do not understand the terms OPI and MPI. The definitions given in the comments also sound very similar ("Operational Performance Indicator – Provides information on environmental protection emerging from organization activities." and "Management Performance Indicator – Provides information on organization management efforts for environmental protection. ").Is there an example or further explanation about the kpi?Thanks.

Answer:

The MPIs and OPIs are 2 types of Environmental Performance indicators.
- MPIs include policies, people/employees, activities, practices, procedures, decisions and actions in the organization. Examples of MPIs are: Hazardous waste generated per unit of product (kg/unit); Wastewater discharged per unit of product (1000 L/unit).
- OPIs include the inputs, the supply of those inputs, i nstallations, faclities and equipment operation, design, outputs and delivery of those outputs. Examples of OPIs are: Percetage of environmental targets achieved; Environmental budget (%/year).
