What does “stakeholder” or “community” involvement mean to DEP?
At a minimum, stakeholder or community involvement should meet the needs of your organizations and the requirements of ISO 14001. DEP is very interested in involving the community as much as possible in the design and implementation of an EMS. DEP believes that companies (such as Lucent Technologies in Allentown, PA) that involve local groups will realize significant benefits over those that do not, and, for that reason, the agency is advocating these types of proactive community relationships.
