Answer:

If the sustainability policy meets all requirements of ISO 14001 regarding environmental policy, you can use it as environmental policy. The standard requires for environmental policy the following:
- to be appropriate to the purpose and context of the organization;
- to provide framework for setting environmental objectives;
- to include commitments to protection of the environment, fulfillment of the compliance obligations, continual improvement and other commitments relevant to the context of the organization
