Company, multi-site QEHS to customized 2nd party protocols
Strengthen governance, ensure alignment, and drive consistent quality, environmental, and health and safety (QEHS) performance across all your company locations.
Company, multi-site QEHS to customized 2nd party protocols
In today’s fast paced and geographically dispersed business landscape, it is essential to ensure that every location delivers consistently on quality, environmental, health, and/or safety (QEHS) commitments to maintain operational excellence, compliance, and corporate reputation.
DNV’s multi site QEHS 2nd party audits and assessments provide independent verification that your sites operate in accordance with your corporate policies, internal procedures, and QEHS performance standards. Conducted on your behalf and fully tailored to your operational framework, these audits focus on transparency, risk reduction, and driving continuous improvement across every facility in your organization.
Unlike certification audits, which verify compliance with a static standard, multi site 2nd party audits are entirely customizable. They evaluate performance against the expectations you set.
Tailored QEHS audits improve consistency and performance
DNV conducts custom 2nd party audits and assessments that reflect your operational standards, material requirements, and sector specific risk profile. Our audits are adapted to your requirements, specifications, and compliance framework, providing a clear understanding of a sites maturity and compliance, highlighting risks and opportunities for improvement.
We evaluate sites against:
- Your internal QEHS policies, procedures, and performance frameworks
- Global, regional, or local QEHS legislation
- ISO-based management system expectations (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001)
- Corporate sustainability objectives, environmental footprint expectations, and resource efficiency
- Occupational health and safety controls, training, and risk management
- Industry specific guidelines for safe, efficient, and compliant operations
Custom KPIs, maturity models, and site development objectives
Audits can address areas such as:
- Quality management, process control, and documentation discipline
- Environmental performance, resource use, emissions, and compliance
- Workplace safety culture, hazard management, and operational controls
- Operational consistency and alignment with corporate processes

Customized audit frameworks can be built on:

- Sector specific requirements or performance indicators
DNV’s audits can integrate additional dimensions, such as ethical practices, sustainability, digital compliance, or organizational culture, ensuring your program supports broader corporate goals. We can also provide accredited third-party certification to international standards like those of ISO.
