Environmental audits are a valuable management tool for identifying and assessing problems that can have a detrimental impact on overall corporate performance. Specific benefits typically include: Ensuring regulatory compliance and reducing the potential for fines. Reducing non-regulatory liabilities. Reducing potential issues in the event of a property transaction. Reducing energy and waste costs. Environmental audits are an important, positive component of an effective corporate environmental management program, and self-initiated audits are the best means for a company to identify and then deal with issues before they become a significant concern. Although there are many standards for environmental audits (such as ISO 14010), many firms tailor their audit programs to a particular need or management concern. Hyde can assist your firm by providing an independent, one-time evaluation or by helping you to establish an effective audit program.
