Market standard audit – environmental
It is paramount for environmental and human safety that businesses incorporate sustainability into their manufacturing processes. How seriously a business takes this responsibility and measures its impact on the environment is a critical part of how customers, the public and internal and external stakeholders view the brand.
In response to mounting calls from the public for transparency on sustainability efforts, and in order to meet certain national regulatory requirements, retailers and brands are becoming increasingly more engaged in both their own environmental policies and those of the businesses in their supply chain. Sustainability principles must be implemented at every part of the supply chain in order to make meaningful change.
The environmental market standard audit by Eurofins Assurance has been designed by experts with significant chemical knowledge, audit know-how and field experience in order to create an audit that provides a comprehensive picture of a manufacturing site’s environmental performance.
Our highly trained auditors evaluate a site’s environmental performance in terms of three aspects:
Structure and system
- Environmental legal requirements
- Environmental management systems
Consumption
- Chemical management
- Water consumption, monitoring and savings
- Energy consumption, monitoring and savings
Unwanted outputs
- Nuisances
- Air emissions
- Wastewater treatment
- Solid and hazardous waste management
Audit reports provide valuable findings on site performance against audit parameters, as well as compliance with local regulations. Coupled with photo reports, the Eurofins Assurance environmental market standard audit provides buyers and stakeholders with the information they need to make considered business decisions in relation to environmental policies, initiatives and direction.
