Plan d’Assurance Environnemental (PAE)

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

French term or phrase: Plan d’Assurance Environnemental (PAE)
and consequently the "Schéma d'Organisation du Plan d’Assurance Environnemental (SOPAE). Do UK equivalents exist for these terms? The closest I have come is the Environmental Assurance Programme (EAP), although here I have more the impression this is an overview rather than an action plan.

My document is a "PAE" for a large construction and engineering consultancy firm. The document refers to both the environmental policy and the environmental action plan so it is neither of these. Any ideas? Thanks very much in advance.

This is what a lot of construction contractors take out. Could this be it?

In which case, maybe it's an environmental protection plan (EPP)...I have come across both situations

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Rebecca, I don't think this is it, it's not related to insurance as in an insurance policy. Its a summary document detailing the different elements of the protection of the environment's inclusion in construction design and execution.

neutral  polyglot45: I doubt it has anything to do with "insurance" (think of "quality assurance")

  -> As I said, it is just a suggestion, but it crops up a lot in construction/engineering contracts
