Five Star Environmental Sustainability Audit

An in-depth examination of an organization’s entire environmental sustainability policies, procedures and associated arrangements against best practice and recommending improvements.

The audit goes beyond the requirements of traditional environmental management systems such as ISO 14001:2015. The audit will help you demonstrate your environmental sustainability credentials to your stakeholders including customers, supply chain and other stakeholders.

Organization’s within any sector (of any size) who:

• a. require a status assessment of their current environmental sustainability policies, processes and practices against best practice.
• b. require a structured route toward implementing environmental sustainability within the organization

The audit can be undertaken by any organization of any size whatever stage of the environmental management journey they are on. For organizations starting out on their journey of implementing environmental management, the audit can be used as a road map for both short and long-term plans for environmental performance improvement.

For organizations with a long-standing commitment to environmental management, the audit provides a robust third-party validation of your organization’s current policies, processes and practices. It includes recommendations aligned with best practice that allow you to continually improve.
