Companies that share the values of sustainable development are generally interested in environmental audits of their operations. However, audits are not an end in themselves: it is important for them to identify potential risks in order to avoid them in the future.

Their motivation in this case is the potential damage to their reputation and the desire to get some kind of guarantee that the project will not have to be redone at the implementation stage.

Moscow is the leader in terms of the frequency of appeals for expertise, as most major companies implementing international projects are registered in the capital.

There is seasonality in the environmental audit market: companies more often ask for the service from March to June and in September to October, and on average we receive two or three requests per month per year.
