The **Waste** aspect measures an entity’s ability to monitor their environmental impact, assess their process efficiency, and set targets to reduce the amount of waste produced. Information on a portfolio’s produced hazardous and non-hazardous waste, together with disposal destinations, are valuable insights for participants to manage environmental impacts and to discover unnecessary financial burdens.
