Guidance: the organization should establish the context it works in: the issues, internal or external (including environmental conditions and events), that bear on its purpose and on whether its environmental management system can deliver its intended outcomes (as a minimum, better environmental performance, meeting compliance obligations and reaching environmental objectives). A context review gains from a life cycle view and from involving several functions, and covers identifying the relevant issues, how they can affect the intended outcomes, how they will be addressed in planning, and opportunities to improve environmental performance. External issues span political, economic, financial, competitive, supply chain, social, cultural, market, technological, legislative and natural conditions; internal issues span governance, compliance status, strategy, capacity, information systems, culture and contracts. The results should feed the scope, the risks and opportunities, the policy, the objectives and the approach to compliance, and documenting them and refreshing them from time to time can help.
This control maps to 28 controls across 21 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
The graph holds this control, the 28 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
