ENVIRONMENT AUDITS
Environment audits, meant to assess a supplier against ISO14001 fundamentals with review of energy and resource use, waste management, air and water quality, hazardous materials management, biodiversity conservation, and compliance with environmental laws and regulations as well as own “code of conduct”.
The duty of diligence represents a commitment to transparency and responsibility throughout the supply chain, and a comprehensive approach involving social and environmental audits, along with close cooperation with production facilities and corrective actions, can contribute to a more sustainable and responsible management of the supply chain.
An on-site Kappa Assessment audit is conducted to assess the level of compliance of the facilities with the Environmental Code of Conduct, local regulations, and international standards, and to identify necessary corrective actions and opportunities for continuous improvement. The Kappa Assessment audit also reports on the best practices observed by the auditor.
An environmental audit is a process of evaluating an organization’s compliance with environmental regulations and standards, as well as its performance in managing environmental impacts.
The purpose of an environmental audit is to identify environmental risks and opportunities for improvement, and to ensure that an organization is meeting its legal and regulatory obligations.
The first step in an environmental audit is to plan the audit, including identifying the scope of the audit, the audit team, and the audit procedures.
The audit team collects data on the organization’s environmental performance, including its compliance with environmental regulations, the effectiveness of its environmental management system, and its environmental impacts.
