The Award is internationally benchmarked, and serves as an environmental management system that allows businesses to measure, manage, and continually improve its operational environmental credentials.

"Not only will it help us to identify areas within our business that are having a negative impact on our carbon footprint, but it will also help guide us towards an alternative course of action that will benefit both us as a firm, and the environment around us for the future."
ESI Monitor was established in Guernsey to offer products and services that support businesses in their transition to more sustainable operational models. The Environmental Business Operations Award, is a five-step modular process that provides accreditation based on international benchmarks, and helps organisations to understand and meet international regulations.
The process will be applied across all of Carey Olsen's offices, including those in the Channel Islands.
