I suppose that European auditors may take umbrance to that thought, but many Americans would not.
Speaking as a Brit most of our opinions on climate change are the majority of it is out of our hands. Most of the auditors i have come in contact with are of a similar opinion, but then i suppose you get the odd few druids everywhere, but thats a different conversation.

It would be really funny if an organization were to state the owner’s belief that CC is a hoax and there is absolutely nothing they will do about it in their management system.

I wonder how the CB auditor(s) would react.

I actually mentioned this to our auditor and he said he would be ok with that, because it does show that you have given CC thought in the context of the organizartion. (but ofc, you may also want to consider your stakeholders in this ;) )

Same here in the Netherlands. It will probably also depend on the type and size of your company.
 
Our registrar brought it up in our Stage 1 audit in March. Needed to add the blanket statements in 4.1 & 4.2 and added a blurb in the quality policy.
 
Well this has been discussed for 41 pages in this thread. Those in opposition who have ‘more’ influence on the standard have not been successful in getting it revoked…but many auditors are giving it little attention. Check the box and move on.

A little attention?
In the 3 year certification cycle for every MS certification I do (11 so far this year)
In every audit plan for every audit I do (11 so far this year)
In every audit report for every audit I do (11 so far this year)

I've had to go past "A little attention" it's like gravity, taxes and death.
 
IDK, it looks like the Grok response supports Antonio's statements -- power generation loss from solar panels in Spain.
