EB Accreditation- an opportunity for lighter regulation
Thursday, 28 May 2009
EB Accreditation was introduced by ENTRUST in 2007, with the aim of providing ENTRUST with the ability to carry out systems-based reviews of Environmental Bodies (EBs). Those EBs which reach an appropriate level may be granted ‘Accredited’ status and be subject to a lighter regulatory touch.
The EB Accreditation process helps EBs comply with the Regulations and ensure that organisations adopt a best practice framework within which to operate. This process provides EBs with the flexibility to design and operate governance processes and controls which are appropriate for their own organisation in order to facilitate their compliance with the Regulations.
Have a look at the new Accreditation tab on the website. The new section provides all the details about Accreditation including how to become accredited and the benefits it offers.
