i) Due Diligence Audit

A Due Diligence Audit is a systematic review to assess financial, legal, operational, and
environmental risks in mergers, acquisitions, or investments. It evaluates:

• Financial health, assets, liabilities.


• Legal compliance with regulations and contracts.
• Operational performance and infrastructure.
• Environmental liabilities from pollution or regulatory breaches.

ii) Environmental Non-Conformance

Environmental Non-Conformance refers to deviations from environmental standards,


including:

• Non-compliance with regulations (e.g., emissions limits).


• Improper waste management.
• Unapproved process modifications. Addressing: Root-cause analysis, corrective
actions, and enhanced monitoring.
