Environmental Protection Consultancy
Legislation, pressure groups, stakeholders and the public all demand that businesses minimise their impact on the environment. But this demand competes with a great many others. Therefore it is imperative that scarce resources are targeted to maximum effective environmental management.
This is where Britrisk can help.
Environmental Assessment and Auditing
The first step is to assess where you are now in terms of managing environmental protection issues, by conducting an environmental audit. Such audits can be targeted at achievement of environmental performance standards, compliance with the legislation, or both. Britrisk works with businesses to tailor audits to their specific requirements. Involving the business team closely in the development and implementation of the audit ensures that the results are of lasting benefit.
Environmental Management Systems
If the audit shows that the current Environmental Management System (EMS) is working fine, that is good. However if the EMS has shortcomings – or if you need to set up an EMS from the very beginning, then Britirisk can help here too. Starting with the audit results to define your environmental management needs, Britisk can build you an EMS precisely tailored to give you the tools, skills and understanding for you to have the confidence that your environmental management obligations are being met.
