Strategies and Audits

A sustainability strategy enables an organisation to integrate environmental, social and economic considerations in its governance framework and business strategy in order to create sustainable value for all its stakeholders.

Landfill and Waste Management

Landfills must be managed effectively and efficiently in compliance with legislation, licences and permits to minimise the flow of waste to the landfill, optimise the use of available airspace and minimise impacts on the environment.

Training

Empowering people and organisations to enhance their performance to manage or implement sound sustainability practices, and the reporting thereof to their stakeholders.

Environmental Auditing

Auditing compliance with the conditions in various environmental authorisations, licenses and permits helps an organisation to ensure compliance and build confidence among its stakeholders about the organisation’s practices.
