EHS Audits that show you exactly where you stand
Independent EHS audits — also known as HSE audits or SHE audits — scored on two tracks: are you compliant, and how mature is your system. Clear findings for leadership. Practical actions for your team. Across India and 19+ countries.
What we offer
Choose the depth of EHS audit you need
All our EHS audits run on one proven protocol, in three tiers. Start where you are and step up as your programme matures. Every tier covers the same six clusters — the difference is depth.
EHS Essentials
EHS Comprehensive
EHS Deep-Sector
One audit, three audiences
Everyone gets what they need from the same audit
Consultivo EHS audits speak to three audiences at once — anchored by a single star rating that runs through every part of the report.
Leadership
gets a decision-ready picture — one dashboard, one star rating, the top priorities, and the actions that need a leadership call.
Board & Company Secretaries
get a clear compliance landscape — a register of every obligation, its status, and the evidence behind it, ready for governance and disclosure.
The EHS team
gets the details to act — finding-by-finding recommendations, a priority matrix, and a living tracker to drive every action to closure.
Seven report components, anchored by the 1–5 star rating throughout.
What is an EHS audit?
Compliant is not the same as well-managed
An EHS audit — sometimes called an HSE audit or SHE audit — is an independent, structured check of how well your site manages environment, health and safety. Most audits stop at one question: are you legal? We ask a second: how good is the system that keeps you legal?
That is the dual-track principle. A site can pass a compliance checklist yet run on individual effort — one key person away from failure. Each Consultivo EHS auditor scores compliance and maturity separately, revealing that risk so you invest where it truly counts.
Compliance
“Are you meeting the requirement?” Conformance with statutory, organisational and non-negotiable requirements.
Maturity
“How well-developed is the system?” From absent and reactive through to embedded, data-driven and improving.
The score everyone understands
A simple 1–5 star maturity rating
Every cluster — and the site overall — earns a star rating. Instantly clear for leadership, and directly comparable across all your sites.
- 1 · InitialNo practice exists, or it is absent in effect. A fundamental gap.
- 2 · Ad hocInformal and reactive. Inconsistent, person-dependent, undocumented.
- 3 · DefinedDocumented, standardised and consistent. The ISO 45001 / 14001 floor.
- 4 · ManagedKPI-monitored and data-driven. The system reviews and self-corrects.
- 5 · OptimisingBenchmarked, disclosure-ready and continually improving. Best-in-class.
What you get
EHS audit reports built to be used
Seven components, each with a job to do — from a two-minute leadership read to a living tracker your team works all year.
Executive Intelligence Dashboard
The one-page leadership read — overall star rating, cluster scores, critical findings and top priorities.
Operations Compliance Register
Every applicable requirement, its status, the evidence and the owner. The authoritative compliance record.
Detailed Findings & Recommendations
Each finding linked to the protocol question, the evidence, the risk and a specific, practical fix.
Strengths & Critical Gaps
What the site does well — to replicate — and the gaps that carry the highest risk.
Action Points for Leadership
Only what needs a leadership decision — budget, headcount, capital or policy. Nothing operational.
Priority Action Matrix
Every action plotted by risk and effort, so you know not just what to fix, but what to fix first.
RAG Tracker — living compliance status
A Red-Amber-Green tracker that turns the audit into a living tool. As actions close, items move from red to green — a real-time view of compliance health between audits.
The full spectrum
Three levels of rigour — we provide all three
“ESG-ready” can mean three different things. We are precise about which one you need — and we never blur the line between advice and assurance.
Compliance & Systems
Are you legal? Are systems and records in place? This is the core EHS compliance audit.
Data Assurance-Readiness
Would your reported ESG / BRSR figures survive substantive testing? The readiness module.
Independent Assurance
A formal AA1000AS / ISAE 3000 opinion — for clients outside our advisory firewall.
As a licensed AA1000 Assurance Provider, we maintain strict independence. For any single client group we audit or assure — never both. That discipline is what makes our findings, and our opinions, worth trusting.

A universal spine, comparable site-to-site and aligned to ISO 19011. Questions within each cluster are tailored to your sector.

EHS audit FAQs
What is an EHS audit?
An EHS audit is an independent, structured assessment of how well an organisation manages environment, health and safety. A Consultivo EHS audit scores each area on two tracks — compliance (are you meeting the requirement?) and maturity (how well-developed is the system?) — across a six-cluster protocol aligned to ISO 19011.
Are EHS audits the same as HSE audits or SHE audits?
Yes — EHS audits, HSE audits and SHE audits all describe the same thing: an independent review of environment, health and safety management. The letters are simply ordered differently by region and industry. Consultivo delivers all of them under one protocol, led by a qualified EHS auditor.
How is a Consultivo EHS audit different from a normal compliance check?
A compliance check only asks whether you are legal. Our dual-track method also rates how mature and resilient your management system is, on a clear 1–5 star scale. This shows leadership not just whether you comply today, but whether the system will keep you compliant tomorrow.
Does the EHS audit help with BRSR and ESG reporting?
Yes. The core audit confirms whether your EHS data systems are set up to support BRSR and ESG disclosure. For organisations heading into mandatory BRSR CORE assurance, the optional ESG Data Assurance-Readiness module reconciles and recalculates material figures to check they would survive substantive testing — before an assurance provider arrives.
What does an EHS audit report contain?
The report has seven components: an Executive Intelligence Dashboard, an Operations Compliance Register, Detailed Findings & Recommendations, Strengths & Critical Gaps, Action Points for Leadership, a Priority Action Matrix, and a Red-Amber-Green living status tracker. The 1–5 star rating anchors all of them.
Do you provide EHS audits across India and overseas?
Yes. Consultivo delivers EHS audit services in India and internationally, with experience spanning 19+ countries and 30+ industry sectors.
How long does an EHS audit take?
A single-site EHS audit typically takes one to five days on site depending on the variant — Essentials (1–2 days), Comprehensive (2–3 days) or Deep-Sector (3–5 days). A draft report follows within about ten working days.
