Conducting an environmental audit is no longer an option but a sound precaution and a proactive measure in today’s heavily regulated environment. Indeed, evidence suggests that EA has a valuable role to play, encouraging systematic incorporation of environmental perspectives into many aspects of an organization’s overall operation, helping to trigger new awareness and new priorities in policies and practices. Environmental auditing is a systematic, documented, periodic and objective process in assessing an organization’s activities and services and the level of compliance to the laws, policies and guidelines.
