Environmental Management Audits
Do you ever wonder if your business or school is
managing its environmental aspects in a legal, safe and
environmentally friendly way?
Greenthinking offer an Environmental Management
Audit (EMA). EMA’s identify all environmental aspects and risks of a
site and check that
they are being managed in a safe, legal and environmentally
sensitive manner. The output is a comprehensive report containing
details of all environmental aspects of the site, how they are
managed, whether environmental law is being followed and includes a
suggested action plan of recommended improvements.
The scope of the EMA covers: Air Pollution;
Releases to Water; Waste Arising & Management; Hazardous Substances;
Historic Issues; General Site and Building Management; Nuisance
Issues; Biodiversity; Resource Consumption & Management; Carbon
Management & Local Site Issues.
