ISO 14001 / Management Review

Hello there,

During my management review for ISO 14001:2015 for the EMS which I have created, the top management have requested that I merge the register of significant aspects with the internal and external issue/risks and opportunities register. I don't believe I can do this, because then it means I have to quantitatively analyse every internal and external issue/risk and opportunity.

Is there a way in which I can merge these documents, or am I better off leaving them as two separate documents?

You can merge those registers in order to save time and documentation and afterwards, quantitatively analyze those risks to find out which are significant and address them.

Regarding the risks, you need not only to consider the environmental aspects in your EMS but also to your environmental legal requirements, feedback from your interested parties such as customers or employees and benchmarking your processes against other similar organizations. 

I recommend you to create a Process Aspect Chart where you can register and evaluate environmental aspects and risks associated to each process following your selected criteria (e.g. probability, reach of impact) - For the opportunities you can use another register. Here you can find an example - Process Aspect Chart: https://advisera.com/14001academy/documentation/process-aspects-chart/

These materials can help you to learn more about risks and environmental aspects:
