Environmental Management Systems and Environmental Reporting
On a day to day basis Xodus AURORA enables organisations to engage with the increasingly important environmental agenda. An Environmental Management System (EMS) is essential to ensure an organisation demonstrates it is operating in a responsible environmental manner. Xodus AURORA enables the development of such systems for a range of clients and sectors.

From a gap analysis or initial environmental review, support can be provided via environmental awareness training or system design. The introduction of a robust EMS can support regulatory compliance and deliver an improvement in environmental performance allied with potential cost savings. An EMS can also allow an organisation to improve its resource efficiency and to ascertain the environmental performance of its supply chain.

Xodus AURORA can provide assistance with actions that can directly underpin an EMS:

› Development of an environmental policy
› Identification of environmental aspects and impacts
› Establishment of environmental objectives and targets
› System auditing
› Environmental awareness training
› Environmental risk assessment.

Nowadays there is also a growing requirement for companies to present environmental information within an annual environmental report. Such reports can promote communication of environmental performance both internally to staff and shareholders, and externally to the public. Xodus AURORA’s high quality technical and presentation skills allow for the interpretation and presentation of environmental emission and impact data to a wide audience of stakeholders.

Environmental Legislation Guides and Advice
Xodus AURORA also provides clients with support on the requirements of environmental related legislation, standards, codes of practice and statutory guidelines. This can be achieved via a site visit or via an environmental legislation guide (internet and intranet based systems). Xodus AURORA is the main provider of this service to the UK oil and gas industry, providing services to a number of operators. Xodus is the also the technical author and provider of the Oil and Gas UK Environmental Legislation Register available here.

Xodus AURORA aims to enable organisations to truly understand the application of environmental legislation and to take pragmatic steps to ensure compliance and improve environmental performance. To support such endeavours Xodus AURORA can also advise on application of environmental best practice.
