EHS management

Bespoke and commercial EHS training

We provide approved EHS training programmes that either lead to internationally recognised qualifications, such as IEMA and NEBOSH, or that augment bespoke corporate programmes.

Regulatory and corporate compliance assurance

Our worldwide audit service assists organisations in assessing their EHS performance. This service

uses internationally recognised regulatory compliance protocols

places equal emphasis on environment, occupational health and physical safety

covers specialist compliance issues such as product safety, ergonomics and energy efficiency.

Global EHS and structural due diligence

We provide due diligence support to energy businesses. Our team is fully aware of an individual client’s corporate approach and requirements.

Key strengths and highlights

A training-led practice that reinvests up to 5% of our income in internal training to ensure the consistency and the teamwork required to deliver multi-site, multi-location due diligence projects

Energy sector EHS services6

Corporate and social responsibility (CSR)

Stakeholder engagement

A company’s reputation can be damaged when public stakeholders and non-governmental organisations feel that their interests have not been addressed during corporate development programmes. These risks can outweigh a project’s technical risks and need to be identified early in the strategic planning process. Our outrage management service works with a client’s project management and business planning teams to evaluate project-related risks and to plan communication and mitigation strategies.

Key strengths and highlights

A CSR service focused on practical project-related issues, rather than the strategic–public-relations–communication-based approach of other providers

A service with measurable performance goals such as project authorisation time, regulatory intervention time and supply-chain compliance

Environmental impact assessment and permitting

Initial project scoping and baseline assessment

We provide multidisciplinary EIAs that are managed by in-house ecology, zoology (protected species), marine biology and archaeology specialists. Our early integration of engineering solutions, which aims to design out any environmental impacts at an early stage, reduces the risk of a project being called in for a public inquiry. In addition, our team’s commercial sensitivity facilitates regulatory approval without undue and impractical constraints being placed on the project.

Our support services continue into management plans for construction building on mitigation measures and commitment to the environmental statement through to operational procedures and decommissioning.

Communications and public liaison

Public communication and liaison skills are critical to reducing public concerns and protecting corporate reputations. We provide a full in-house service that publishes public documents and holds community liaison sessions to increase public awareness and facilitate community involvement.

Integrated pollution prevention and control

Our in-house chemical engineering and air emissions impact assessment teams are experienced in applying for IPPC licences. These teams have particular expertise in large power, renewable energy and oil and gas infrastructure projects.
