Environmental audits and reporting

Environmental audits and reporting help businesses organise their documentation, identify their obligations and prepare the required reports. MASAD assesses compliance with environmental requirements and identifies the actions needed to address any gaps.

MASAD provides environmental audits, KOBiZE, PRTR and BDO reporting, environmental fee calculations, and coordination of EPR packaging obligations in international markets. We offer both individual assignments and ongoing support tailored to your business needs.

Environmental Audits for Businesses

An environmental audit assesses whether a company is properly fulfilling the obligations arising from its operations. It helps identify gaps in documentation, discrepancies between existing permits and actual site operations, and areas requiring improvement.

Depending on the agreed scope, we review:

the completeness and validity of permits, authorisations and notifications;
compliance with the conditions set out in administrative decisions;
waste records and documentation maintained in the BDO system;
obligations relating to air emissions, water and wastewater management, and noise;
measurement records and environmental monitoring documentation;;
the accuracy and completeness of reports, returns and fee calculations;
product and packaging obligations, where included in the audit scope.

We present our findings and recommendations in a structured format. We identify priorities, recommend a sequence of actions, and indicate which documents need to be prepared or updated.

Environmental Audits and Reporting — Scope of Services

We help identify which reports and returns apply to your business, what data needs to be collected, and how to organise their preparation.

Our services may include:

preparing reports for the KOBiZE National Database;
preparing PRTR reports for facilities subject to this requirement;
preparing reports in the BDO system;
preparing statements and information required under existing administrative decisions;
checking the consistency of data across records and reports;
preparing corrections and explanations concerning previously submitted documentation.

Before starting work, we define the applicable obligations, data sources and responsibilities for providing the information. This supports the preparation of complete documentation and timely reporting.

Environmental Fees

We help businesses identify activities subject to environmental fees and prepare the required calculations and statements.

We assist in collecting and verifying data, including information on fuel consumption, equipment in operation and processes that generate air emissions. We check its consistency with the documentation used to fulfil other reporting obligations.

Our work may also include reviewing previous fee calculations and preparing any necessary corrections.

EPR — Packaging Obligations in International Markets

Selling packaged products abroad may give rise to extended producer responsibility obligations, known as EPR. We help determine which requirements apply, taking into account the country of sale, packaging types and distribution model.

MASAD’s support includes:

analysing packaging obligations in selected markets;
assisting with registration in the relevant registers and schemes;
organising data on packaging weights, materials and types;
coordinating reporting and verifying fee calculations;
supporting cooperation with local organisations and authorised representatives, where required;
preparing a schedule of obligations for each country.

We bring information from different markets together into a consistent reporting system, making it easier to track deadlines, documentation and external costs.

Environmental Compliance — Ongoing Support

Maintaining environmental compliance requires regular checks to ensure that documentation and the fulfilment of obligations reflect the company’s current operations. Site expansion, the commissioning of equipment, changes in technology or entry into another market may require further assessment.

As part of our ongoing support, we:

prepare a register of environmental obligations and a calendar of deadlines;
organise administrative decisions, records and reporting documentation;
help establish data collection procedures and allocate responsibilities;
assess how planned changes affect the company’s obligations;
identify the need to update documentation or obtain additional administrative decisions;
support preparations for inspections and the implementation of follow-up actions.

Our cooperation can cover a selected area or the ongoing coordination of the company’s environmental obligations.
