Jobs > Audits and reviews
An audit is the most hated thing
for any company employee ! Indeed, taking a close look to try
to diagnose what could be perfected is sometimes difficult to
do with the full cooperation of everyone, everybody wondering
what magnificient ideas the consultant will have to annoy them
afterwards.
Actually, regarding greenhouse gases, an audit will seldom be aimed at making the existing procedures more efficient, because the goal will most of the time be new. The idea will be to evaluate correctly the starting situation to know what realistic measures might be suggested afterwards to take into account an objective that was not so far.
In addition, preserving the environment is a topic often rated high in the employees' hearts : proceeding to an audit with the intention of improving things on this subject is generally considered as a positive move.
