Environmental Compliance Audit
An environmental compliance audit is a review of environmental legal compliance criteria on a particular site.
The audit takes into account what specific environmental aspects are present on site and therefore what is required by legislation in order to meet these legal obligations. The audit covers Waste Duty of Care, Pollution Prevention and various other environmental compliance areas. As well as taking into account legal obligations, environmental compliance audits can be utilised to identify whether internal company procedures are being followed, particularly in line with environmental certifications such as ISO 14001. Measuring and demonstrating compliance is a key aspect to any environmental
management system.

What are the benefits?
An environmental compliance audit identifies where current legal obligations are not being met and can be used as an opportunity to measure and improve compliance levels.
Used as a tool to identify trends in non-compliances an audit can help to detect gaps in staff knowledge to further develop training regimes to improve compliance.
An environmental compliance audit plays a key part in maintaining and achieving an ISO 14001 accreditation and ensuing an effective environmental management system.
Environmentally friendly business practices can reduce business risk, improve reputation and drive market opportunities whilst at the same time preventing the likelihood of an environmental incident.
