Establish and Implement Consistent and Systemic EHS Solutions for Maximum Performance

A well-designed EHS management system supported by a complementary information management system (IMS) establishes the solid foundation a company needs to achieve its EHS/ESG goals and objectives. TRC’s EHS management system designers have strong expertise in the design, implementation and maintenance of an ISO-based management system, such as ISO 14001 – Environmental Management Systems and ISO 45001 – Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems. These management systems provide the appropriate foundation and related activities to effectively and efficiently manage the EHS/ESG risks for an organization.

When you couple an IMS with the management system that supports and delivers the data and information needs, monitoring and reporting activities and performance tracking of compliance and conformance, an organization is in an excellent position to eliminate or minimize its EHS/ESG risks, as well as meet or exceed its EHS/ESG goals and objectives.

To ensure these management systems and associated IMS are properly performing to applicable standards and expectations, TRC has the expertise and bench strength to establish, conduct and deliver EHS audit services and digital technology consulting to ensure the systems and operations comply with regulatory requirements and conformance expectations. We deliver these valuable services to business and operational leaders to help them minimize impacts to the environment, establish and maintain a strong safety culture across the organization and achieve their EHS/ESG goals and objectives.

TRC Announces Collaboration with Greenstone Reinforcing Integrated ESG, Sustainability and Climate Risk Solutions

June 26, 2020

The dominant trend in improving the efficiency and profitability of the logistics and supply chain industry will continue to be achieved through automation. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues can be important considerations for investments in this sector due to potential reputational risks for the acquiring entity. Key issues include negative publicity surrounding the perception of job elimination, as well as the procurement of specialty materials required to produce batteries and other components of autonomous robots. The recycling or responsible disposal at the end of the life of the product is also a key focus especially in Europe. TRC was asked to provide ESG risk screening for a foreign auto manufacturer’s investment in a U.S.-based autonomous robotics company. A two-step approach was taken to access the risks associated with this target. The first step evaluated the inherent risks of the target company’s sector based on its geographical spread and operations using public information like the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the CDC Investment Works Toolkit. The second step involved deeper analysis of ESG risk assessments & insights based on a review of specific controls that the company uses to manage its risks. This included a questionnaire, reviewing company documents and programs, and interviewing company representatives.

While a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is a common method for identifying environmental liabilities during transactional due diligence, the ASTM International standard for Phase I ESAs (E1527-13, with proposed E1527-21 awaiting adoption) omits regulatory compliance from its scope. For properties containing operations that may be applicable to environmental compliance regulations, performing a limited environmental regulatory review can identify potential deficiencies with the environmental management of the facility. A limited environmental compliance review typically evaluates the presence of material findings that may exist in a facility’s management of its environmental compliance requirements. Material findings are defined as a condition of non-compliance that could necessitate expenditures, not including attorney fees or regulatory agency penalties, in excess of a specified dollar amount or materiality threshold. The materiality threshold is based on the client’s risk tolerance and is often in the range of $50,000. However, this amount is arbitrary and can be revised as appropriate. Non-material deficiencies, those identified below the materiality threshold, would still require action but are within the client’s risk tolerance.
