Guest Quotes

“Because EHS ESG becomes mainstream for companies, it's not anymore something operational, do something and we don't care at management. Management cares.... You are in the mainstream as an ESG professional, EHS professional, and the audits become more important. It becomes more business related and you're more in focus. And the auditor has a very important role in this process.” - Robert

“The role of the auditor, typically, or at least our approach is to help educate the facilities help educate those local personnel... We really take the approach and our role is there to help. So we encourage the facility level practitioners and personnel to ask us questions. We are here to help you and guide you, but they need to be open with us.” - Lauren

“For me, it's very important to be the helper. That we help the customer, the clients, in really making sure that his view on the legislation is the right one. My view on legislation is, of course, what I know for myself, but also experiences which we have from other customers who have a certain view and some legislation and how they solve this legislation. And this is essential to transfer this knowledge to our customers.” - Roland
