Create sustainability policies

Trigger: An organization identifies a gap in environmental or social practices, or receives a mandate from leadership to formalize sustainability goals.

1. Assess current environmental and social impact baselines
2. Define organizational sustainability objectives and compliance requirements
3. Draft formal policy documents and written procedures
4. Develop supporting tools for policy execution
5. Review drafts with legal counsel and key stakeholders
6. Secure executive approval for the finalized policies
7. Publish and communicate the new policies to employees

Outcome: A complete set of approved sustainability policies and supporting procedures is documented and published across the organization.
