"ENSR's ES&H Audit Protocols represent a cornerstone within our European ES&H auditing activities. We are using the protocols as preparation for ISO 14001 in order to continuously comply with applicable regulations and consider them to be extremely valuable."

"PPG began back in 1985 to do compliance, PPG policy, and management systems audits outside of North America. It was a very difficult chore for us to keep up-to-date when we visited a facility or a country once every three years. You have to spend money and effort to understand what the requirements are in that country. We’ve used consultants, on-site audit attorneys, embassies, whatever resources were available. Using the information in the protocols has added value and has kept costs down."

G. Byron Edwards, Former Director, Environmental Affairs,
PPG Industries
 
 
"The protocol made for a more efficient use of our time, and I thought you would like to know that your efforts and that of the consortium are appreciated."

"Our QHSE management system requires that mechanisms are in place to ensure compliance with applicable regulations in all countries where we operate. In a decentralized organization, this is the responsibility of local line management. We have made the protocols available to all locations through our international network. They are a valuable resource in many aspects of our planning and provide an effective tool to achieve one of our most important environmental goals.
