Environmental Audit (EA) Services in Wanguri

Wanguri

With Wanguri’s growth in real estate, industry and infrastructure, environmental compliance has become a key requirement for businesses and project developers.

An Environmental Audit (EA) is a mandatory process in Kenya for ongoing projects, confirming they operate within the guidelines set by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA).

From our Nairobi and Ruiru offices we carry out environmental audits in Wanguri and the surrounding area, preparing reports to NEMA's standards and following them through to approval.

What is an Environmental Audit?

An Environmental Audit is a systematic evaluation of a project or facility to determine whether it complies with environmental regulations and the conditions of its approved Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). It focuses on:

  • Identifying environmental risks
  • Assessing compliance with NEMA standards
  • Recommending corrective actions
  • Improving environmental performance

Frequently asked questions

How often do I need an environmental audit?

Operating projects carry out an initial audit and then annual self-audits submitted to NEMA. Your EIA licence conditions may set additional requirements, so we always check them as part of the audit.

What is the difference between an EIA and an environmental audit?

An EIA is done before a project starts, to predict its impacts. An environmental audit is done on a project that is already operating, to check how it is actually performing against its management plan, licence conditions and the law.

My business never did an EIA. What should I do?

Existing facilities that started without an EIA are normally brought into compliance through an initial environmental audit. Talk to us before NEMA does: it is far easier to regularise proactively than after an inspection.
