Do you know which environmental aspects matter, who owns them, and what gets measured?
Your enterprise customers will request environmental data for their CSRD reporting (Wave 2 companies report from FY 2027, including Scope 3 per ESRS E1). They need to know you are in control. AmpliFlow's aspect register is where you define which environmental areas matter, assign ownership, and link to objectives and metrics.
Companies documenting environmental aspects with AmpliFlow
From identification to improvement
ISO 14001 requirement 6.1.2 requires you to identify environmental aspects and determine which are significant. Here's how you do it in AmpliFlow.
Identify
List all environmental aspects: emissions, energy, waste, chemicals, transport, water. Assign an owner for each aspect.
Assess
Evaluate each aspect's environmental impact on a qualitative scale. Leadership decides which areas need the most attention.
Prioritize
Mark which aspects are significant. You make the assessment according to your own criteria and decide what should be measured.
Follow up
Link significant aspects to environmental objectives and metrics in AmpliFlow's goal management. Make sure the right data gets collected and that improvement is reviewed in management review.
Environmental governance is becoming business-critical
Three driving forces making systematic environmental aspect management necessary.
Enterprise customers need environmental data for their CSRD reporting
Under CSRD, large companies must report supply chain sustainability data, including GHG emissions per ESRS E1 (Wave 2 from FY 2027, Wave 3 from FY 2028 after Stop-the-Clock). They need to know you have control over your environmental aspects, that someone owns the issue, and that there is a process for producing the right data. SME suppliers can choose to report under the voluntary VSME standard.
ISO 14001 requirement 6.1.2: aspect assessment
ISO 14001 requires you to identify environmental aspects, determine which are significant, and document how you manage them. The auditor wants to see the register, the ownership, and the link to objectives.
Customer requirements for environmental data are growing
Procurement processes increasingly include requirements for environmental data. Without a system showing who is responsible, what is measured, and how it is followed up, you have nothing to show.
Define what matters, assign ownership, follow up
A central register where leadership decides which environmental aspects to manage, who is responsible, and how they connect to objectives and metrics.
Central aspect register with ownership
Document name, environmental area, impact, unit, and risk classification for each aspect. Add aspect-specific questions with guidance and answers, plus comments. The register gives you a complete picture of which environmental areas are managed and where in the organization.
Eight predefined environmental areas
Categorize aspects into waste, energy, chemicals, materials, transport, water, indirect aspects, and other. Consistent structure that auditors understand.
Qualitative environmental impact assessment
Assess each aspect's impact on a five-point qualitative scale, from very negative to very positive. Mark which are significant. The assessment gives leadership the basis to prioritize resources and decide what should be measured quantitatively.
Link to processes, objectives, and metrics
Connect aspects to the processes that affect them. Link significant aspects to environmental objectives and metrics in AmpliFlow's goal management, where you can track e.g. kWh, tonnes CO₂, or cubic meters of water over time.
Import, bulk editing, and archiving
Import existing aspects in bulk, edit multiple records at once, and archive aspects that are no longer relevant.
Filter and find quickly
Filter by environmental area, significant aspects, or linked process. Sort to quickly find what you are looking for.
Environmental aspects in context
The aspect register connects to processes, objectives, and legal requirements, so environmental work fits with the rest of your management system.
Process Management
Link environmental aspects to processes. See which aspects are managed where in the organization and who is responsible.
Learn more →Goal Management and Metrics
Connect significant aspects to environmental objectives. Track quantitative metrics (kWh, tonnes CO₂, m³) and qualitative improvements over time.
Learn more →Legal Requirements
Connect environmental legislation to the aspect assessment. Traceability all the way from law to aspect to action.
Learn more →Questions about the environmental aspects register
What information can we record for each environmental aspect?
Name, environmental area (8 categories), environmental impact neg/pos (five-point qualitative scale), industry relevance, unit, aspect-specific questions with guidance and answers, environmental risk classification, whether the aspect is significant, process linkage, suggested environmental targets, environmental objective link, and comments.
How do we mark which aspects are significant?
Each aspect has a field where you manually mark whether it is significant. There is no automatic calculation. You make the assessment according to your own criteria and methodology.
Can we import existing environmental aspects?
Yes. Import aspects in bulk, bulk edit existing records, and archive aspects that are no longer relevant. This simplifies startup and maintenance.
How are environmental aspects linked to processes?
Each aspect can be linked to one or more processes via a field in the register. From the aspect register you can see which processes each aspect belongs to.
The aspect register is qualitative. How do we handle quantitative metrics like tonnes CO₂ or kWh?
The aspect register identifies and prioritizes which environmental areas matter. Quantitative tracking happens in AmpliFlow's goal management, where you set environmental objectives with measurable KPIs and track them over time. The register determines what should be measured; goal management measures it.
How does this help when our customers request environmental data for CSRD?
Under CSRD, large companies must report supply chain environmental impact, including GHG emissions per ESRS E1 (Wave 2 from FY 2027, Wave 3 from FY 2028 after Stop-the-Clock). Your customers need to know you have a system: which aspects you manage, who is responsible, and which metrics you track. AmpliFlow gives you that structure. SME suppliers can choose to report under the voluntary VSME standard.
