In accordance with ISO 14001, which is the international standard establishing a widely accepted and globally recognized framework for an Environmental Management System (EMS), Green Garden, LLC has adopted an EMS as its central document controlling the impact of the company’s activities, products, and services on the environment. Green Garden’s EMS describes the company’s environmental goals and documents the procedures to be implemented to achieve such goals. As an aspiring regulated cannabis company, Green Garden’s EMS features six key elements that juxtapose with best practices in the industry and other aspects of the company’s mission: 1. Environmental policy, in which Green Garden has stated its intentions, commitment to environmental performance, and laid out its objectives. This document will be made available to the public. 2. Planning: Green Garden analyzes the environmental impact of its operational plans, SOPs, and proposed buildouts. 3. Implementation and operation: Green Garden will set forth in its EMS how the company will develop and execute processes to realize the environmental goals and objectives laid out in the environmental policy. 4. Checking and corrective action: Green Garden will monitor and measure environmental indicators to ensure that its goals and objectives are met. 5. Management review: Green Garden’s upper management will review the EMS to ensure its continuing suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness and make revisions as may be required from time to time. 6. Continuous improvement: Green Garden’s EMS will enable the company to control the environmental impact of its activities, products and services by establishing targets and objectives related to identified environmental management goals. Procedures will call for continuous review of the environmental aspects and the impacts of products, activities, and services. Part of the continuous improvement step requires routine internal audits of Green Garden’s EMS to ensure that areas of non-conformance are identified and remedied prior to a self-certification or third-party certification audit. An EMS provides a third-party auditor with the information necessary to understand the sustainable practices of the company and the environmental impact systems and policies in place. Green Garden has appointed a Sustainability Manager who has completed the ISO 14001 Internal Auditor certification from the Knowledge Academy and will be qualified to conduct internal audits as part of the company's continuous improvement effort.
