Company Eco-audits
3 Acorns Eco-audits have provided eco-audits to a wide range of companies across
Britain from pharmaceutical corporate headquarters to one-person small-businesses
since 2005.
We co-deliver the Corporation of London’s City Bridge Trust’s programme of free eco-audit
grants for London charities since 2008.
An eco-audit assesses the current environmental practices of an organisation and
creates a work plan for their improvement.
Eco-audits include:
- Initial discussions with management on the desired scope for their eco-audit project.
- Pre eco-audit environmental data collection.
- Site walkabout with facilities manager.
- Attendance at a staff meeting to explain the process and to include employee input
and suggestions.
- One-to-one meetings with key decision makers and management.
- A comprehensive, detailed electronic report outlining the organisation’s existing
good environmental practice and a work plan of specific recommendations for improvements.
- Return update visit after one year.
- Ongoing support/consultancy can be given following the audit if assistance in its
implementation is required.
- Licence to use the 3 Acorns Eco-Audited Logo following completion of the eco-audit.
Our approach is friendly, accessible and down to earth. We aim to be sensitive to
your individual circumstances.
Areas covered by the Eco-Audit can include:
Energy Use
Waste Disposal/ Recycling
Raw Material Use
Purchasing Policies
Management Systems
Employee Practice
Water Use
Transport
Energy and Environmental Footprint
Thermal Imaging of Premises
Carbon Footprint
Renewable Technologies
Our aim is to discover what you are doing well already rather than find fault and
to improve your environmental performance constructively.
A return update visit is essential if you are to get the full value of the time and
money you have invested in the audit.
We have discounted small business, school and charity rates – details on application.
