PROPER is one form of government policy to improve companies’ environmental management performance in accordance with regulations. It is also a manifestation of transparency and democratization in environmental management.

The criteria for PROPER assessment are compliance assessment and beyond compliance assessment. The compliance assessment criteria answer the question of the company’s compliance with sound environmental management. Environmental documents and reports include water pollution control, air pollution control, and hazardous and toxic waste management.
