Our approach in 5 phases
Our environmental audit is based on ISO 14001 and EMAS guidelines. It covers three dimensions: regulatory compliance, identification of significant environmental aspects and assessment of the environmental management system where applicable.
Opening meeting, collection of environmental data (consumption, emissions, waste), review of authorizations and permits.
Verification of compliance with environmental legal obligations: authorizations, declarations, registers, notices, waste management.
Site visit: storage areas, discharge points, waste management, containment, decontamination equipment. Sampling if necessary.
Identification and assessment of significant environmental aspects, mapping of impacts on water, air, soil and biodiversity.
Presentation of results, delivery of the full report and prioritized compliance plan with cost estimates.
