Green audit
Measure and prioritize
At SAGE, we have seen a clear pattern, companies that ask for a Green Audit aren’t doing it for show. They are beyond checklists and want clarity. These are organisations that may have multiple sites, ambitious goals, or ESG reporting pressure, but lack a system to see what’s really working and what’s not.
Our proprietary Green Audit service was built exactly for that. It helps you identify where you are efficient, where you are leaking resources, and how to track it all with a custom dashboard that lives beyond the audit. Whether you are just starting or already years into your sustainability work, this is for teams that want visibility, control, and progress they can prove.
Uncover environmental improvement opportunities across your operations with our comprehensive green audit services. Going beyond compliance checks, our audits identify practical ways to reduce environmental impacts while enhancing operational efficiency.
We help you understand your environmental performance in key areas such as energy, water, waste, and materials, prioritizing improvements that deliver both environmental and business benefits.
This exercise is carried out through our proprietory tool.
FAQ's
What is a Green Audit?
It is a systematic assessment of an organisation’s environmental performance, often including energy, water, waste, emissions, biodiversity, and compliance.
Is it the same as an energy audit?
No. Green Audits are broader in scope and include multiple environmental dimensions beyond energy alone.
Who needs a Green Audit?
Colleges, manufacturing units, real estate developers, and public institutions use it to meet policy mandates, build reputation, or initiate green certification journeys.
Does this involve site visits?
Yes. Physical inspections are often combined with data analysis, interviews, and documentation review.
Can this help with certification?
Yes. Green Audit findings can support other frameworks by identifying gaps and setting action priorities.
