POLLUTION PREVENTION (P2)

AUDITOR WORKSHOP

Are you ready to conduct a P2 Audit?

Pollution prevention (P2), also known as source reduction, is any practice that reduces, eliminates, or prevents pollution at its source prior to recycling, treatment or disposal.

Learn more about P2 and why the U.S. Congress declared it the most desirable approach for addressing pollution whenever feasible.

Environmental auditing is an attempt to provide information on the environmental performance of a company, and thus include environmental issues in the decision making process.

An environmental audit assesses the nature and extent of harm to the environment caused by the activities, wastes or noise from a particular company.

Environmental audits must be independent, objective, credible and transparent in order to be successful. Audits should also be regular and ongoing.
