Benchmark the impact of your environmental policies and achieve sustainability goals.
Sustainability Reporting

What is environmental performance?

If your organisation has environmental footprint targets, or an environmental management system, it is important to verify they are having the desired effect. Environmental performance uses benchmarks to objectively measure the impacts of your environmental policies. 

TÜV SÜD’s environmental performance assessments help organisations achieve their sustainability goals.

Why environmental performance is important

Internationally recognised standards provide you with a transparent, measurable and effective way of undertaking environmental performance assessments. They can be applied to topics such as environment, energy, assets and facilities. When implemented effectively, they help organisations reduce waste, mitigate emissions, lower energy-consumption and cut costs. Management system standards provide a structured approach to help organisations achieve those sustainability goals.

An environmental performance audit helps you to:
