Entities developing KPIs need to ensure that the entity-specific KPIs are linked to and reflect KPIsdeveloped at the Emirate level.To allow for tracking, KPIs should be quantifiable, measurable, and achievable, however, they shouldalso drive an entity towards success, i.e, they should not be too easily achievable.In addition to considering how measurable an indicator is, it is also important for the KPI to be limited innumber and essential to the entity’s goals. A good KPI will have the following:Title of the KPI;Defined indicators, i.e., the time period, the department, or the volume or unit of measure;Measurable, i.e., they are able to be monitored and measured; andTargets, i.e., each indicator should have specific targets.3.3.2 Developing TargetsEach indicator should have a target or a series of target that help monitor progress towards meeting theKPI. Like KPIs, targets should be measurable and defined.Entity targets should contribute to reaching long-term goals set by sectors which again will align withgovernment goals.Some example targets include:Reduce energy use by 20% from 2007 levels;Reduce water use by 25% from 2007 levels;Reduce total CO 2 emissions by 15% from 2007 levels;Reduce waste generated by 10% from 2007 levels; andIncrease concrete recycling by 50% from 2007 levels.Non-numerical targets include:Develop programs to improve EHS performance of suppliers;Establish annual awards to promote EHS behaviours amongst workers;Establish program to promote EHS integration throughout company; andComply with all relevant UAE and Abu Dhabi Emirate EHS regulations.3.4 Developing an EHS Management ProgramOnce the entity has determined the EHS risks and has developed targets it is vital to develop amanagement program that helps the entity work towards those targets and goals.The Program can be a five-year program with details provided for the first few years. The programneeds to identify all key tasks that need to be undertaken to commence development andimplementation of an EHSMS including key actions, personnel requirements, budget requirements, andtimeframes.76/10169/10/5953 Implementation of Abu Dhabi EHSMSEntity Guideline to Assist with Development of EHS Management System- 7 -
