NIH Environmental Policy
The NIH Director signed the environmental policy to show the NIH's commitment
to protect the environment and use natural resources responsibly.
The NIH Environmental Policy establishes three important commitments:
- Compliance with all Federal, State and local environmental laws and regulations, as well as Executive Orders;
- Preventing pollution by minimizing the generation of wastes where possible; and
- Continually improving the NEMS to better NIH's environmental performance.
Because of these important commitments, each employee is expected to know and understand the
policy and act upon the commitments in the policy as part of their jobs.
The policy is made available to the public in order to demonstrate NIH's environmental commitment as a good neighbor.
