Environmental Statements/Audits
Sawen Group prepares Environmental Statements and conducts environmental audits for industries and facilities across India.
Every year, many industrial units are required to submit an Environmental Statement, often called Form V, to their State Pollution Control Board, and periodic audits help confirm that a facility is actually meeting its environmental commitments.
Our team manages both, so your facility stays compliant and genuinely aware of where it stands environmentally.
If your unit needs help preparing an annual Environmental Statement or conducting a proper environmental audit, Sawen Group can handle the complete process for you.
What is an Environmental Statement?
An Environmental Statement is an annual report that industrial units are required to submit to their State Pollution Control Board, summarising the facility's environmental performance over the previous financial year. This typically covers water and raw material consumption, pollution generated, waste produced, and the pollution control measures in place at the facility.
This document, commonly referred to by its form number, Form V, in many states, gives regulators a clear picture of how a unit is performing against its environmental obligations and helps track whether pollution levels are being properly managed year after year.
What is an Environmental Audit?
An environmental audit is a detailed review of a facility's actual environmental practices, checking whether the pollution control systems, waste management processes, and compliance documentation are working as they should. Unlike the Environmental Statement, which is a standard annual filing, an audit involves a closer, more thorough examination of the facility's real environmental performance.
An audit can identify gaps between what is documented and what is actually happening on the ground, helping a facility correct problems before they lead to regulatory action or environmental harm.
Why Annual Environmental Statements and Audits Matter?
- Legal requirement – Many industrial units are required by law to submit an annual Environmental Statement to their Pollution Control Board.
- Reveals real performance gaps – Audits often uncover issues that are not visible through routine reporting alone, allowing for timely correction.
- Avoids penalties – Missing or incorrect statement filings, or unresolved compliance gaps found during inspection, can lead to fines or notices.
- Supports better decision-making – Accurate environmental data helps management understand resource use and pollution trends, guiding future improvements.
- Builds trust with regulators – Consistent, accurate filings and voluntary audits show a facility takes its environmental responsibilities seriously.
