Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Environmental Sciences - Sustainability, grade: 85%, University of Nairobi, course: Masters of Arts in Environmental Law, language: English, abstract: The concept of environmental auditing has evolved to address issues wider than simple commitment to legal compliance, for example, identifying improvements and opportunities for cost savings, and confirming the effectiveness of environmental management systems. It is equally essential to note that environmental auditing can produce a range of benefits for an organisation, including cost savings and increased management effectiveness and both large and small organisations can benefit from undertaking an audit.
