Compliance & Standards
Prepare for the sustainability frameworks, standards and regulatory expectations that apply to you.
Context and capability
The business problem
Standards and regulatory regimes are not interchangeable. An organisation preparing for a management system certification, an assurance engagement and an import regime is being asked for different evidence in each case, on different timetables, by parties with different tolerances for gaps.
What CER does
CER maps which requirements genuinely apply, identifies the gap between current practice and what each requires, and puts the controls, records and documentation in place. We prepare organisations for external scrutiny rather than producing a document set that has never been tested.
Likely outcome
A clear view of applicable obligations, a closed gap list, and evidence organised the way an auditor or verifier will ask for it.
// Services
Compliance & Standards services
Most engagements combine several of these. If you are not sure which applies, describe the requirement and we will map it.
CBAM Readiness
Assessment of CBAM exposure across your products and customers, embedded emissions data preparation, and the reporting pathway your EU importers require.
CBAM Readiness: Explore this service
Assurance Readiness
A pre-assurance review of data, evidence and controls against what a provider will test, with the gaps closed before the engagement begins.
