Our Approach

Our methodology is rigorous, participatory, and aligned with national and international standards. It includes:

  • Field assessments and environmental sampling where needed

  • Stakeholder consultations with local communities, staff, and authorities

  • Preparation and submission of the final audit report to NEMA or relevant bodies

We also support implementation of audit recommendations, ensuring that corrective actions are feasible and sustainable.

What is an Environmental Audit?

An Environmental Audit is a systematic evaluation of how a project, facility, or operation affects the environment. It identifies current impacts, assesses compliance with environmental regulations and conditions of licensing, and recommends corrective or preventive measures. In Kenya, Environmental Audits are a legal requirement under the Environmental Management and Coordination Act (EMCA, 1999) and must be undertaken by a NEMA-licensed expert.

Environmental Audits

We conduct comprehensive Environmental Audits (EAs) to help organizations assess and manage their environmental performance. Our audits go beyond compliance — they provide actionable insights that improve sustainability, reduce risk, and strengthen accountability to funders, regulators, and communities.
