- Identifying and implementing opportunities for cross project synergies, and implementing a target environment landscape
- Ensuring the economic use of environment resources by spotting opportunities for efficiencies
- Defining and continuously improving the environment management approach, frameworks, policies, procedures and processes ensuring compliance with standards and policies (i.e. security)
