Waste and Environmental Services

Companies within the waste and environmental services sector already have a lot on their plate when it comes to regulatory compliance and reporting requirements. With new frameworks emerging in 2024 as part of the broader EU green deal, these services will face even more pressure to ensure they are fully compliant in areas like sustainability, ethical waste management and labour practices.

Transparency regarding waste and environmental services and their sustainability impact is integral to customer and shareholder satisfaction, especially given how much companies are increasingly relying on these services to ensure their own ESG compliance. Outsourcing waste management and using recycling services can improve a company’s own sustainability, so it’s imperative that those offering these services are strictly adhering to regulatory requirements and reporting conditions.

The Challenge

As ESG reporting requirements become increasingly extensive, companies in the waste and environmental services sector will face mounting pressure to ensure their operations adhere to sustainable and ethical standards. This includes not only maintaining environmentally sound waste disposal practices, but also demonstrating a commitment to ethical labour practices and minimising overall environmental impact.

With the added scrutiny brought by the 2024 EU Green Deal frameworks, the stakes for compliance are higher than ever and accurate reporting is essential.
