An environmental audit helps in achieving :

  • A.Waste minimization
  • B.Resource optimization
  • C.Compliance to environmental laws
  • D.All of the above

Answer: D

An environmental audit helps in achieving All of the above.

An environmental audit is a systematic, documented and periodic check of how an organisation manages its environmental impacts. Tracing the flow of materials, energy and water through a plant shows where waste is generated and how it can be cut (waste minimization), where raw materials and energy are lost (resource optimization), and whether discharges and records meet consents and standards (compliance to environmental laws).

Because each of the first three is a recognised benefit of the audit, choosing any one alone leaves the others out. In India, industries file an annual Environmental Statement under the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986, which is a form of environmental audit.
