How to enhance environmental regulatory compliance and sustainability reporting?

Implementing a customised solution based on client needs and strategy can lead to improved reporting efficiency, reduced costs and streamlined processes for compliance-focused clients.

The overall goal when it comes to compliance is to be 100% compliant 100% of the time. The way to get there is to strive for continuous improvement, whether that be improvements through enhanced accuracies, improvements by reducing reported waste volume year over year, or improvements by finding efficiencies to save money on costly and labour-intensive processes. Proper documentation of processes and a streamlined approach to recording waste data across the disposal process and value chain can improve both environmental compliance and the bottom line.

When setting decarbonisation goals, it is important to engage with operations and set targets formed with benchmark data. Well-informed, achievable targets are the foundation of successful sustainability initiatives and sustainability goals and strategies. With improved data, companies can define appropriate metrics and document progress towards those metrics. Whether the goal is to improve environmental compliance, enhance sustainability reporting metrics or both, with tools to automate and inform metrics, companies can see tangible results, including:

• Less waste
• Better reporting
• Lower waste disposal costs
• Better vendor selection with a lens on sustainable practices
• Identified opportunities for recycling and reuse
• Decreased agency scrutiny
