We know that to build a healthy and prosperous Oldham we need a healthy environment. We are committed to identifying and tackling the environmental impacts of operations and services, and influencing others to do the same, prioritising areas where we can make the most impact. This is about more than one-off actions; it’s about ensuring we have an environment that allows us, our children and our grandchildren to prosper.

This system ensures that Oldham Council demonstrates:
- A full understanding of how its activities can affect the environment
- Environmental policy and objectives to reduce our impact on the environment
- Procedures and controls to help it achieve environmental objectives
