ISO 14001 Clause 4.1 Organization and its context - What does an Auditor expect?

[Randy]

From the looks of it I'm the only auditor responding. You've got the answer in your hands if you'll just use it and not go all crazy getting into a lather about this.

Remember - 1st you don't have to make an auditor happy or pleased (That's up to their significant other or at least a good meal)

2nd - You aren't required to document diddly...Do you see anywhere in 4.1 or 4.2 that you have to document anything?

3rd - If some fool auditor demands that you identify "every" issue, expectation, and need right out of the chute ask him/her/whatever to show you that requirement, and the purpose of continual improvement

Randy,
Thank you so much for your reply. I have taken the cue from you and simplified the response for Context of the Organization. We already had 3 transitions to ISO9001:2015 and following your advice-it worked!!!
