Environmental Compliance Audits

Environmental Compliance Audits

Ensuring that your production lines meet environmental rules and regulations is important because while reducing your carbon footprint, being compliant will also ensure you are not exposed to the costly fines and prosecutions that can come with failure to adhere to local and/or international requirements.

Environmental compliance audits carry two key elements – one is the moral and ethical responsibility to protect our natural surroundings and prevent harm to human and animal health in the process, while the other includes growing your business in a beneficial way.

Environmental compliance audits enable business transparency; it has been documented that customers are more likely to want to purchase from companies who express both recognition of, and consideration for, their behavior within the environment.

It also falls under ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria, a set of international standards enabling socially conscious buyers and investors to consider a company’s performance, and how they are ready to support that business based on their accountability.

Environmental compliance audits and a management system process ensure the entire supply chain is meeting requisite measures and enables a buyer to hold its factories or suppliers answerable for the environmental impact of their production facilities.
