Document background
Environmental Audit Reports are essential compliance documents required under Malaysian environmental legislation for facilities and operations with significant environmental impacts. These reports are mandated by the Environmental Quality Act 1974 and must be conducted by certified environmental auditors. The primary purpose of Environmental Audit Reports is to assess and document an organization's environmental performance, compliance status, and management systems effectiveness. They typically include comprehensive evaluations of air emissions, water discharge, waste management, and other environmental aspects. The reports serve multiple purposes: demonstrating regulatory compliance, identifying areas for improvement, preventing environmental incidents, and supporting environmental management decision-making. They are particularly crucial for facilities requiring environmental permits and those operating in environmentally sensitive sectors in Malaysia.
