How do ATO practices measure success in environmental performance?

ATO practices measure success in environmental performance by employing both quantitative and qualitative metrics. This dual approach allows for a comprehensive evaluation of environmental impacts and outcomes. Quantitative metrics provide measurable data, such as emissions levels, resource consumption rates, and waste production figures, which can be analyzed statistically to assess performance trends. Qualitative metrics, on the other hand, involve subjective assessments, such as stakeholder feedback, community perceptions, and organizational practices, offering insights into areas that may not be captured purely by numbers.

By integrating both types of metrics, ATO practices can create a more holistic view of their environmental performance, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and guiding improvements. This balanced measurement strategy ensures that entities are not only compliant with laws and regulations but are also advancing in sustainability efforts and addressing broader community and environmental concerns.
