Environmental Management & Compliance

​Compliance and Environmental Management System Auditing

Aureus has conducted numerous compliance and EMS audits for both government and private industry clients. We have certified auditing staff with CECAB. We have also helped clients create internal audit protocols to allow for internal auditing practices.

​Aureus conducted an environmental compliance audit for a large mining client interested in purchasing an existing business. The purpose of the audit was to determine any environmental compliance risks prior to finalizing the purchase. The successful audit was completed in accordance with CSA Z773.

Greenhouse Gas Inventories and Verification

Aureus can help identify, inventory and verify GHG emissions for your company.

​In multiple years, Aureus helped a government client identify, inventory and report on their GHG emissions to their board. The report allowed the organization to track their improvements and report on the successes.

Identification and Interpretation of Regulatory Requirements

Aureus helps clients identify, interpret and manage their regulatory requirements. We have worked across North America including local, state/province and Federal.

​Since 2010, Aureus has supported a Crown Corporation identify, interpret and monitor their regulatory requirements at their 4 unique facilities. This included establishing their environmental aspects and legal requirements to determine overall environmental risks, developing and implementing environmental programs to manage their risks, conducting regular compliance audits to monitor their performance and provided guidance to improve. This project has significantly reduced the corporation’s risk of non-compliance. 

EMS Compliance and Training

Aureus can provide all types of training, from on-site walkthroughs, to in-classroom training. Our team is experienced in adjusting the tempo, setting and material to meet the needs of the audience.

​In 2017, Aureus provided compliance training to newly hired site staff on a variety of environmental topics, including storage tanks, halocarbons and waste. Since that time, the class attendees have frequently sought out Aureus to ask follow-up questions and further develop their understanding – a great compliment to our trainer!

Environmental Management Systems Development and Implementation

Aureus has helped clients in a variety of industries understand, strategize, prepare, implement, monitor and audit environmental management systems.

​Since 2012, Aureus has supported a large Canadian municipal client with the development and implementation of Environmental Management System. Steps included initial training on EMS elements, an implementation roadmap, policy development and endorsement, an aspects/impacts list and legal register, a gap analysis of existing tools, goal setting, program and procedure development, CAR/PAR process and eventually full-scale implementation via a custom developed intranet app.

Toxic Reduction Planning

Aureus has helped clients understand, develop and report on their toxic reduction requirements in Ontario. Aureus has a certified toxic reduction planner on staff.

​Since 2014, Aureus has been helping an industrial client manage their Toxic Reduction requirements. Initially, this included the development of a toxic reduction plan, and since that time, we have helped the client prepare their annual reports and enter their results into NPRI. 

Regulatory Reporting

Aureus has helped clients manage all aspects of their environmental management, including regulatory reporting.

​As an ongoing project, Aureus has helped a large firm with assets throughout North America manage their fuel storage tank inventories with the associated authorities. This has helped reduce the administrative workload on a taxed internal environmental group.
