Environment, Health & Safety (EHS)

GRC.ie > Environment, Health & Safety (EHS)

Protecting people and the planet has never been more central to regulatory compliance. European organisations face growing expectations from regulators, employees, and the public to operate safely, responsibly, and sustainably.

Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) frameworks are no longer just operational obligations – they are strategic drivers of resilience, reputation, and long-term value creation. Failure to manage environmental risks or workplace safety can result in fines, reputational damage, and loss of stakeholder trust.

The EU continues to tighten requirements through workplace safety directives, environmental standards, and integration with sustainability reporting. For organisations, this means that a robust EHS system is essential not only for compliance, but also for attracting investment and retaining talent.

Scope & Obligations

Key frameworks and requirements include:

  • ISO 14001 – Environmental Management Systems.
  • ISO 45001 – Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems.
  • EU Directives on workplace safety, environmental protection, and occupational health.
  • Integration of EHS with ESG and CSRD reporting obligations.
  • Continuous monitoring of environmental impacts, workplace hazards, and corrective actions.
