Compliance management in environmental services is vital to sustaining a greener world. Organizations, including governments, follow many processes, laws, regulations, standards, and guidelines to protect the environment.
Companies are increasingly facing pressure to address environmental concerns and make progress in their compliance efforts. Therefore, they must work under regulatory challenges and improve their environmental reporting.
Nearly every sector — from health care to manufacturing to educational services — faces environmental regulatory compliance requirements. Compliance management allows these sectors to consider their impact on the environment.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) help people, companies, and governments standardize environmental reporting and compliance management.
A few reasons for the importance of compliance management in environmental services include:
Protection of Public Health and Environment through Compliance Management
Compliance management helps control and minimize activities that could harm public health and the environment. For example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act, limiting the release of pollutants.
Different regions, countries, and companies have their standards, which add to regulatory challenges.
Legal and Financial Consequences
A company or governing body can enhance its reputation by committing to sustainability and building trust with stakeholders and the public. Meanwhile, non-compliance can result in severe legal and financial penalties, tarnishing reputation and operations. Fines, sanctions, and shutdowns are considerable when organizations fail to follow regulatory compliance management. Furthermore, unsustainable practices, including wasted resources and operational inefficiency can be expensive.
However, regulatory challenges persist, including complex and constantly evolving regulations that are also easy to lose track of because of the sheer volume. Regulatory agencies often require detailed documentation and regular reporting. Keeping up with these processes and changes can be difficult and require compliance management.
Avoidance of Environmental Disasters Thanks to Compliance Management
Environmental disasters can have massive long-term adverse effects. Compliance management, through sets of pre-established rules, helps alleviate such dire impacts.
For example, a regulation like proper waste disposal may sound small and straightforward. Still, it can prevent soil contamination, which would be much more costly and challenging to amend.
