EHS Audits That Show You Exactly Where You Stand
An EHS audit from Consultivo is independent, scored on two tracks, and built to be used. It tells your leadership exactly where each site stands, on compliance and on system maturity, and hands your team a prioritised plan to act on. Across India and 19+ countries.
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
Entry-level health check
A compliance-led EHS audit. Confirms that statutory and non-negotiable requirements are met, with a light maturity read. Ideal for a first baseline. For a standalone legal-register service, see our ehs legal compliance practice.
EHS Comprehensive
Our flagship audit
The full dual-track audit: compliance and maturity across all six clusters, with a sector-specific question module. The right choice for most sites.
EHS Deep-Sector
Specialised and high-hazard
Comprehensive plus deep process-safety evaluation: HAZOP review, PSM elements and LOPA where relevant. Built for complex or high-hazard operations.
Human Expertise. Scientific Protocol. Purpose-Built Technology.
A Consultivo EHS audit is not a checklist filled in by a junior and typed up later. Every assessment combines three things most audits lack, and it is the combination that makes the score both consistent and credible.
Senior EHS Auditors, 10 To 30 Years
Sector-matched EHS auditors with 10 to 30 years in the field, not generalists. Every finding is reviewed and interpreted by senior domain leaders, so the score reflects real risk on your site, not box-ticking. This senior interpretation is what makes the difference between data and judgement.
ProtoSafe, The Scored Protocol
ProtoSafe is Consultivo's validated assessment protocol. It turns a qualitative opinion into an element-by-element score, customised to your subject matter and sector and benchmarked against ISO 19011, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, the IFC / World Bank EHS Guidelines and industry best practice.
ESG Slate, The Audit Engine
ProtoSafe runs on ESG Slate, Consultivo's proprietary audit engine. Data is captured on site with no transcription errors, scored in real time against protocol weightings, and turned into consistent, comparable, visual reports across every site and every year.
Compliant Is Not The Same As Well-Managed
An EHS audit, sometimes written as an HSE audit or an 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? An environmental health and safety audit that answers only the first question can still miss the risk that matters.
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. Our EHS auditing method is aligned to ISO 19011, the international guideline for auditing management systems.
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.
Everyone Gets What They Need From The Same Audit
A Consultivo EHS audit speaks to three audiences at once, anchored by a single star rating that runs through every part of the report.
Leadership
A decision-ready picture: one dashboard, one star rating, the top priorities, and the actions that need a leadership call.
Board And Company Secretaries
A clear compliance landscape: a register of every obligation, its status and the evidence behind it, ready for governance and disclosure.
The EHS Team
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 to 5 star rating throughout.
The Six-Cluster ProtoSafe Protocol
Every Consultivo EHS audit runs on the same ProtoSafe protocol: a universal six-cluster spine, comparable site to site and aligned to ISO 19011, with the questions inside each cluster tailored to your sector. Each cluster is scored element by element on ESG Slate, then reviewed by your lead auditor.
Leadership, Governance & Systems
Legal Compliance & Risk
Operational Control & Workplace
Environmental Management
Occupational Health & Safety
Performance, Assurance & Improvement
Where your site runs an integrated management system, the same protocol maps cleanly onto your ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 framework, so the audit reinforces the system you already run rather than duplicating it.
A Simple 1 To 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.
No practice exists, or it is absent in effect. A fundamental gap.
Informal and reactive. Inconsistent, person-dependent, undocumented.
Documented, standardised and consistent. The ISO 45001 / 14001 floor.
KPI-monitored and data-driven. The system reviews and self-corrects.
Benchmarked, disclosure-ready and continually improving. Best-in-class.
An EHS Audit Report 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. This is the standard EHS audit report format we deliver, scored and visualised on ESG Slate.
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 turns a point-in-time audit into a living tool. Every finding becomes a tracked action with an owner and a due date, and its status updates as work progresses, so you hold a real-time view of compliance health between audits rather than a report that ages on a shelf.
Hosted on ESG Slate and shared with your team, the tracker is refreshed continuously, giving a defensible, always-current record for your next audit, board review or disclosure cycle.
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, and are systems and records in place? This is the compliance and systems level of the audit. For a standalone deep legal review, see our ehs legal compliance service.
Data Assurance-Readiness
Would your reported ESG / BRSR figures survive substantive testing? The readiness module reconciles and recalculates material figures before an assurance provider arrives.
Independent Assurance
A formal AA1000AS / ISAE 3000 opinion, for clients outside our advisory firewall.
Our EHS Auditing Process, End To End
Scope & Plan
Agree variant, sites, criteria and timeline. Pre-audit document request issued.
Document Review
We review your registers, permits, monitoring records and data before arriving.
On-Site Audit

Score & Draft

Report & Act
Final report, leadership report-out, and a living RAG tracker to drive closure.
