Sarah Whittaker's presentation on Acquisition Environmental Management in NA-M
The presentation explains the Acquisition Environmental Management (AEM) approach used in National Armaments-Materiel: ensuring defence Products, Systems and Services deliver Sound Environmental Performance. This involves meeting compliance obligations, managing risk of unintended events, seizing opportunities for improvement and being resilient to a changing environment. AEM differs from site-based environmental protection: it focuses on environmental performance of equipment. It is two-way: equipment can affect the environment, and environmental change — especially climate change — can affect equipment performance and availability.
