Whether your organisation’s goal is to prepare for future environmental regulations, comply with existing legislative requirements or report under voluntary reporting commitments, RSM Bird Cameron’s specialised services will help embed the principles of continuous improvement into your Environmental Management operations and systems.
Greenhouse and Energy Auditing
Since 1 July 2008, under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Act 2007, companies that meet and exceed set greenhouse gas emissions production and energy consumption thresholds are required to measure and report on these emissions. Many businesses find the task of gathering external data for the purpose of NGER reporting challenging. Auditing is a key compliance and monitoring measure under the Act.
RSM Bird Cameron can also help renewable energy and energy efficiency companies by confirming an entitlement to create renewable energy or energy efficiency certificates specified in the annual return to the regulator. We accomplish this by ensuring that the information presented in the return is correct and accurate, and determined in accordance with the relevant section of the applicable regulations.
