EES is a systematic, documented verification process for objectively obtaining and evaluating evidence to determine whether specified environmental activities, events, conditions, management systems conforms with audit criteria, and communicating the results of this process to the client. It is an investigative process to determine if an existing facility is in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. This service is essential to the environmental management process, as it complements associated field services aimed at analyzing environmental parameters. An environmental evaluation report ideally contains a statement of environmental performance and environmental position, and may also aim to define what needs to be done to sustain or improve on indicators of such performance and position.
