National and International Standards organisations are beginning to introduce formalised standards for environmental management systems. The British Standards Institute (BSI) first started the process by producing BS 7750: 1992 - Specification for Environmental Management Systems and the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) followed not long after with SABS 0251:1993 Code of Practice for Environmental Management Systems. The International Standards Organisation (ISO) has produced an environmental management systems standard (ISO 14000) series which dovetails with the ISO 9000 quality systems series.

We have had extensive, practical experience in setting up environmental auditing systems and our manual on environmental auditing is due to be published in the near future.
We can assist you in setting up audit systems, we can carry out external audits to verify your existing systems, we can carry out acquisition audits if you need information on the environmental liability of  proposes acquisition or partnership; and we can report on environmental "weak points" that may need consideration.

Strategic Advice: First World Business Consultants offer consultation to sectors assessing how their business is likely to be impacted by environmental and social issues, new regulations, consumer concerns, and supply chain issues and help companies develop appropriate policies and management systems to manage these business risks.

Development Impacts and Planning: Our staffs have a good understanding of the local and international environment, the regulatory needs and community concerns and are able to use this knowledge to help develop solutions that meet the needs of all stakeholders in the developed and developing countries.
Managing Liabilities and Risks: Our work in this area falls into two categories: assisting with mergers and acquisitions to help buyers and sellers fully understand the potential financial value of environmental liabilities; and working with corporations to understand and manage risks.

Managing Contaminated Sites: We provide assistance around the world developing clean up solutions and working with the client as project managers to remediate the sites. At a corporate level, we are working with property managers to devise strategies for managing the entire portfolio of contaminated sites.
