An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is a guidance document to measure and achieve compliance with the environmental mitigation and monitoring to be taken during implementation and operation to eliminate adverse environmental and social impacts of an industry or project, offset them, or reduce them to acceptable levels.
Environmental Management Plan is important to identify feasible and cost-effective measures that may reduce potentially significant adverse environmental impacts to acceptable levels. It provides the organization with a means of managing its environmental performance, thereby allowing it to contribute to improved environmental quality.
