| To make this policy a reality, REI has developed and implemented an environmental management system that: |
 | | |
 | Evaluates our operations and sets objectives and targets for prevention of pollution, waste reduction, and energy conservation; |
| Reviews environmental performance against objectives and targets; |
| Monitors developments in environmental laws and regulations; |
| Develops procedures for complying with legal regulations; |
| Combines environmental management procedures and planning into the development of new procedures and operations; |
| Provides training to ensure full implementation and maintenance of all documented environmental policies and procedures; |
| Evaluates the effectiveness of the environmental management system to promote continual improvements; |
| Provides methods for communicating the environmental policy to interested parties (internal and external including those working for or on behalf of REI). |
| Encourages the use of an environmental management system by our suppliers and contractors. |
