An integrated example of Objectives, Targets and Indicators could be:

• Objective: Reduce energy required in process.
  

• Target: Achieve 10% reduction in energy consumption in the next year.
  

• Indicator: Quantity of fuels per unit of production (OPI). Establish regular monitoring system (MPI).

Objectives and targets are part of any environmental management system.

You can have targets without an EMS.

You may be part of target setting in an environmental management system.

Targets are set in order to drive the organisation.
