Building Your ECOmanagment Programme

The ECOManagement process is based on five key steps:

1. Environmental Policy and Working Group: To participate, a golf facility will first need to make a policy commitment endorsed by its membership. This should include a statement of intent to improve environmental performance, to establish an Environment Team to manage the project, and to carry out an environmental review.
