Environmental Consulting
Environmental consulting for companies
The correct management of corporate waste can prove to be a particularly complex activity, which requires specific skills and a solid ability to orient oneself in the regulatory landscape, articulated and subject to continuous updates.
The management of special waste in full compliance with the regulations is not only a legal obligation: today more than ever, companies are required to take on a concrete responsibility, actively contributing to the protection of the environment and collective health.
Currently, companies are required to comply with a broad and articulated set of procedures, principles and requirements, imposed by current regulations on environmental protection and safety. Failure to comply with these obligations involves significant risks and may give rise to civil and criminal penalties.
The main regulatory reference in Italy is the so-called Consolidated Environmental Act, i.e. Legislative Decree 152/2006 as amended., which regulates waste management and provides for sanctions, including criminal penalties, in the event of failure to comply with the obligations laid down.
Understand the environmental regulations in force
Environmental regulations in Italy, including Legislative Decree 152 of 2006, as amended., form the foundation of environmental protection. These texts regulate crucial aspects such as: emissions into the atmosphere, waste management and the adoption of Environmental Management Systems (EMS), requiring companies to obtain specific authorizations, such as the Single Environmental Authorization (AUA) and the Integrated Environmental Authorization (IEA), to operate in compliance with the law.
Integrating environmental regulations into the company’s strategy means optimizing production processes, reducing costs and waste, improving energy and operational efficiency. Through tools such as environmental auditing and risk assessment, companies can identify critical areas and opportunities for improvement, reducing costs and maximizing operational effectiveness.
Environmental authorizations and certifications
Companies are required to obtain specific authorizations to operate in compliance with current regulations, including, for example, the Single Environmental Authorization (AUA) and the Integrated Environmental Authorization (IEA). AUAs, IEAs and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) are among the key tools to ensure that industrial activities are carried out in a minimised environmental impact.
Environmental certifications, such as ISO 14001, attest to the adoption of best practices in environmental management, giving companies a competitive advantage and greater credibility in the market.
The role of the Environmental Management System (EMS)
Adopting an Environmental Management System (EMS) compliant with the ISO 14001 standard means implementing a structured system to effectively manage the environmental impact of company activities. This approach makes it possible to: identify, monitor and control environmental processes, promoting continuous improvement and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Environmental certifications, such as the one according to ISO 14001, are not simple certificates of conformity, but strategic tools that demonstrate commitment to sustainability, strengthen corporate reputation, facilitate access to new markets and public tenders.
How environmental consulting can enhance and grow your company
The transition to a sustainable business model requires commitment, expertise and strategic vision. Contacting an environmental consultant is the first step to complying with current regulations, improving environmental performance, reducing risks and operating costs.
An environmental consultant, in fact, offers comprehensive professional support, which includes: environmental analysis, assistance in obtaining the necessary environmental authorizations, identification of financing opportunities for eco-sustainable projects, such as those promoted by the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) or in line with the goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (Sustainable Development Goals – SDGs)tag.
A central aspect of environmental consulting is support in waste management, an area that is increasingly regulated and under public attention. A strategic approach not only enables regulatory compliance, but can also foster the development of processes that allow waste to be transformed into resources, enhancing materials and promoting the circular economy. Focus on your core business: we’ll take care of the management of corporate waste!
