The Environmental Assessment Policy serves as a crucial document for organizations operating in India, providing a structured framework for evaluating and managing environmental impacts of their activities. This policy document becomes essential when organizations need to assess their environmental impacts, ensure regulatory compliance, and implement sustainable practices. It incorporates requirements from key Indian legislation including the Environment Protection Act 1986, Environmental Impact Assessment Notification 2006, and various sector-specific regulations. The policy is designed to guide organizations through the complete environmental assessment process, from initial screening to final reporting and monitoring, while ensuring alignment with the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) guidelines and State Pollution Control Board requirements.
