EHS Compliance Audit & Due Diligence Audit – Global Environmental, Health & Safety Regulatory Consulting Firm

Employing own online regulatory database-backed EHS audit protocols and experts, we carry out third-party EHS compliance audits (including due diligence audits) to assess ongoing EHS compliance of facilities in a specific jurisdiction or before the acquisition or transfer of property. Amongst others, key features of the YGP EHS compliance audit program are the following:

Flexibility: A new trend of EHS compliance audit is that companies start covering additional and nontraditional subjects to EHS audit scopes (e.g., security, transportation, producer responsibility, product stewardship, fuel efficiency). YGP EHS compliance program is flexible to accommodate this expanding and challenging audit scope through our skilled EHS auditors.
Cost- and Time-Efficient: More audit scope but limited audit resources … The answer to solve this real-world controversy is an innovative and integrated EHS audit system for well-trained EHS auditors. YGP provides technology-driven EHS compliance audit tools to improve efficiency and effectiveness of the whole audit process.
Strict Quality Control: EHS compliance auditing is an energy-intensive process under tight time schedule. However, “quality” shall not be compromised due to its very nature, i.e., “legal compliance”. YGP implements strong quality measures, as we know when audit processes are not quality-assured, it will not deliver optimal results for clients.
Standardized Approach: Although an audit might be a subject review process by an auditor, YGP applies a universal EHS audit criteria (e.g., laws, regulations, permits, standards, corporate requirements), EHS Risk Matrix, and EHS Risk Ranking methodology.
Delivering Value: EHS audit shall deliver material business values to clients. A client may have complex, diverse, contradictory, and/or high expectations. What YGP Audit Program aims is to deliver measurable business values to clients to a maxim and possible extent.
Corporate Governance from the Top: Top management would demand more and stricter compliance assurance programs and detailed data in response to internal or external factors and events. YGP understands increasing pressure on corporate EHS auditors who should also meet challenging audit program scopes, verification, reporting, and follow-up.
