Environment
According to the commonly accepted definition, the term Environment is a dynamic and changing surrounding, constituted by physical, chemical and biological elements as well as social factors, in which develop all living organisms and that is susceptible to have a direct or indirect influence on itself.
The field of environment protection entails the call of a broad range of skills. Numerous professional sectors share areas of expertise linked to the requirements brought by either new problems little known to the public or by the application of legal principles regarding civil responsibility and guaranteed agreements.
It is within this framework that the practice of these different fields of expertise was standardised and supervised by various institutions such as the Association canadienne de normalisation (CSA), the association canadienne de vérification environnementale (ACVE) as well as the associations québécoise de vérification environnementale (AQVE).

The ESA is a systematic process whereby the environmental site assessment expert establishes the presence of real or potential risks of contamination on a property (continued).
The Phase 1 environmental site assessments must be carried out according to the general principles outlined in the Canadian standard CSA Z768-01. To make sure the Environmental Site Assessment is in conformity with this standard and to ensure it is accepted by your lending institution, it is essential that you hire an independent and competent consulting and services firm whose team includes certified assessors approved by organisms such as the association québécoise de vérification environnementale (AQVE) or the association canadienne de vérification environnementale (ACVE).
The environmental site assessments realised by Spheratest Environnement are all verified and approved by an expert certified by the AQVE (Évaluateur Environnemental de Site Agréé - EESA) and the ACVE (Certified Environmental Assessor of Sites - CEAS).
Environmental auditing (Environmental Compliance Audit) is a process used to assist clients in establishing and maintaining regulatory compliance as well as showing due diligence. In some cases, corporate executives or administrators of an organisation must demonstrate that all precautions and means have been undertaken to comply with environmental regulations. The ECA is "a systematic and documented verification process of objectively obtaining and evaluating evidence to determine whether an organization's activities conform to applicable federal, provincial and local laws" (continued).
