Overview
What this RAVS document does
Hiring clients screen contractors for a genuine environmental policy, not just a slogan. A configured environmental policy element expects a policy with a management system, targets, and reporting behind it.
This document states your company's environmental policy in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the environmental commitment and management system, environmental hazards, precautions and corrective action, project waste and disposal, recycling, environmental impact and documentation, performance metrics, and worker training. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.
What the reviewer verifies
What ISNetworld checks

- A written environmental policy and environmental management system
- Identification of environmental hazards and risks
- Precautions, compliance monitoring, and corrective action
- Project waste, disposal, and recycling
- Environmental impact documentation and performance metrics
- Worker training and stakeholder communication

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the environmental policy element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to any contractor whose hiring clients screen for an environmental policy and management system as part of pre-qualification. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags environmental policy, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the environmental policy review the first time
- Make the policy operational. A reviewer wants to see a policy backed by a management system, targets, and corrective action - not an aspirational statement.
- Track environmental performance. The document states environmental performance metrics, such as emissions and waste, are measured and reported. A reviewer expects real tracking.
- Train your workers. The document states workers are made aware of environmental management and instructed on waste handling. A hiring client audit will ask to see that training.
