A management system meeting ISO 14001:2015 requirements is based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle.

As per ISO 14001:2015 Clause 10 (Improvement) and Clause 9 (Performance Evaluation):

The ' Check ' phase includes activities that evaluate performance, such as:

Clause 9.1:

“The organization shall monitor, measure, analyze and evaluate its environmental performance.”

Clause 10.2:

“When a nonconformity occurs, the organization shall react to the nonconformity, evaluate the need for corrective action.”

Management review is part of the ' Act ' phase (Clause 9.3), and Environmental Policy (Clause 5.2) belongs to ' Plan ' .
