Environmental Audits Environmental audits are the centerpiece of the array of measures encompassing technological improvements, management, emissions analyses, impact studies, accident prevention, etc. Solvay's new auditing method was developed in collaboration with the specialist consultant A. D. Little. It is flexible and can be applied to all types of production, on any scale. In addition, many plants have been audited by external auditors.
Various plants carry out ecotoxicological assessments of wastewater.
The Solvay Group is studying the option of using new quality indicators for its liquid effluent. These would provide an accurate reflection of the presence or absence of risks to the aquatic environment. We are acting in collaboration with authorities and industrial associations in a number of countries.
