Environmental Self-Audits: Legal Tools To Improve Environmental Compliance & Mitigate Regulatory Risks
An environmental self-audit is a systematic, documented, and objective evaluation of how well an organization, its management systems, and its equipment perform and comply with federal, state, and local environmental statutes, regulations, and permit provisions. When conducted properly, these detailed self-assessments can identify areas of non-compliance, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement before they become costly compliance issues. More broadly, environmental self-audits also lead to improved protection of human health and the environment.
