SAVE MONEY AND REDUCE YOUR COMPANY’S CARBON FOOTPRINT. 

Material audit helps you to save 3-5% of your company’s turn over. (Business Finland)  

Material Audit investigates the amount of losses generated by your business operations,  the costs of the losses, and the measures for reducing the losses. The audit decreases the environmental impact of your company’s actions by reducing raw materials use and waste.  

Material efficiency is a concrete action in order to show:   

• The corporate responsibility
• Enhance competitiveness 
• Reduce the carbon footprint.

WHAT IS MATERIAL AUDIT? 

A Material Audit is concrete action for corporate social responsibility with results that can be utilized to plan and maintain an environmental management system. 

The audit uncovers the bottlenecks in the material efficiency, increases the organization’s understanding of its material flows and waste, and identifies measures to improve material efficiency.
