2.0 OUR MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
CRA Europe has an integrated EHS
management system certified to ISO
14001 and OHSAS 18001. We are also
certified to ISO 9001 for implementing
the QMS of our parent company.
2.1 Quality Management System
CRA Europe’s quality system is certified to ISO
9001 and applies the principles of the standard
to all of our projects and consultancy activities
to ensure that our professional services meet
our clients’ requirements. Confirmation that we
succeed in meeting or exceeding the needs of
four clients is provided by the high percentage
of repeat business that CRA Europe enjoys,
and the results from our client feedback
questionnaire. CRA’s quality commitment to our
clients is reflected in our Quality System Policy
Statement, which reads:
“We will continually improve the quality of
our services through a Quality Management
System and ongoing training of our
employees.
Our quality objective on all projects is to exceed client expectations by providing responsive, safe, and cost-effective services.”
2.2 EHS Management System
CRA Europe has operated an environmental
management system, conforming to the
requirements of ISO 14001, for over 10 years.
The system has helped us minimise the
environmental impacts of our office-based
activities, work at client premises, and our
business travel. In early 2012 we developed
this into an integrated EHS management
system, incorporating elements of CRA’s
System of Measurement and Reporting for
Technologies (SMART) programme and other
health and safety management processes. The
new system continues to meet the requirements
of ISO 14001 and now also meets the
requirements of OHSAS 18001, and is certified
to both by the British Standards Institute (BSI).
Access our Environmental, Health and Safety
Policy Statement from the table below.
We also support the CRA Corporate
Sustainability and Social Responsibility
Programme, and report our environmental and
health & safety performance to the group, for
inclusion in the corporate annual sustainability
report. The reported indicators are based on the
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines.

3.0 SECTORS WE SERVE
3.1 Oil and Gas
The Oil and Gas sector is diverse, and faces a
wide range of environmental challenges.
Upstream activities face increasing scrutiny
from the green lobby, as operations extend into
undeveloped and sensitive environments.
Investors are demanding more information on
strategies for all aspects of sustainability,
including climate change and biodiversity.
Emissions trading and increasing regulation,
especially after the Gulf of Mexico disaster, are
placing greater demands on EHS teams.
Downstream, the operations associated with an
extensive portfolio of a site presents risks of
land contamination and environmental damage,
requiring site investigation and remediation. In
addition, acquisition and divestment activities
demand due diligence risk assessment. CRA
support some of the UK’s leading Oil and Gas
companies, providing services to upstream and
downstream operations, and at all project
stages. Types of companies we work with
include:
Exploration and Production
Gas Storage
Refining and Pipelines
Distribution and Retail
Click here for more information.
3.2 Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals
The Chemical and Pharmaceutical sectors have
evolved into numerous sub-sectors that include
commodities such as petrochemicals, polymers
and agrochemicals, and more recently
speciality and life science chemicals. The
sector therefore faces a wide range of
environmental and sustainability demands.
Large-scale processing companies are subject
to environmental permitting, and industry-lead
schemes such as “Responsible Care”.
Companies also have to integrate demands into
the regulatory and quality regimes applied
specifically to their industry. These require
compliance with a wide range of conditions
including environmental management and
health & safety systems. CRA supports
Chemical and Pharmaceutical companies with
raw material receipt and storage, production
and distribution, plant modifications,
decommissioning and demolition, and business
or site acquisition and divestment. We work in
the following sub-sectors:
Agro-chemicals
Inorganic chemicals
Organic chemicals
Pharmaceuticals

3.3 Transport and Distribution
The Transport and Distribution sector faces
diverse and increasing environmental
challenges. These can range from land
development issues to the implications of the
Carbon Reduction Commitment.
The construction, modification or demolition of
facilities and infrastructure may require planning
approval and the submission of complex
environmental statements. Their operation may
also be subject to the Environmental Permitting
and COMAH regimes. Investors and corporate
customer, have increasing expectations for the
development and operation of sustainable and
low carbon facilities and infrastructure systems.
There is an increasing expectation that
operators in the sector will monitor, manage
and report on their own sustainability
performance and potentially have their findings
independently validated.
CRA work closely with transport and distribution
companies to understand their needs at
strategic and project level. Types of companies
we work with include:
Bulk Storage
Warehousing
Rail
Infrastructure
Fuel supply chain
3.4 Power and Utilities
The power sector in the UK includes traditional
large-scale electricity generators (coal, gas and
nuclear) and a range of renewable energy
suppliers, for example, onshore and offshore
wind, hydro, and energy from waste. Energy
companies are required to manage
environmental performance through legal
measures including Environmental Permits.
Environmental performance is, however, not a
simple matter of legal compliance. The
widespread adoption of environmental
management systems (typically conforming to
the ISO 14001 standard) has lead companies to
develop and adopt formal procedures to
improve continuously the management of their
environmental impacts. A wide range of
stakeholders are now interested in
environmental issues, and environmental
performance has become a very important part
of robust corporate management.
CRA work with some of the UK’s leading Power
and Utilities companies, providing support that
is tailored to the client’s needs. We work in the
following sub-sectors:
Fossil fuels
Nuclear
Renewables
Transmission
Water

3.5 Land and Property
The land and property sector is currently
undergoing significant changes in its regulation,
including changes to the planning regime and
the introduction of further environmental
requirements. Mounting commercial pressures,
including the cessation of a number of tax
incentives means that stakeholders who are
buying or remediating environmentally impaired
sites face ever increasing costs. Management
of financial and other risks is commonly
facilitated by using a phased approach to the
purchase process. This approach includes due
diligence, carefully targeted intrusive
investigation and, if required, the design,
implementation and verification of remedial
works.
CRA supports companies throughout the land
and property sector, including commercial and
residential developers, financial organisations,
land agents and civil engineering and
construction companies. We have extensive
project experience with:
Industrial facilities
Commercial property
Construction
Regeneration
Residential
Warehousing
Click here for more information.
3.6 Food and Drink
The Food and Drink sector continues to
experience an increasingly significant change in
the way it is regulated, and also has to meet the
increasing expectations of stakeholders, in
particular retailers and investors, for corporate
responsibility. Large-scale food processing and
intensive agriculture are now subject to the
environmental permitting regime, with direct
regulation by the Environment Agency, and
need to comply with a wide range of permit
conditions. Stakeholders increasingly expect
food producers to implement environmental
management systems, develop and report on
corporate responsibility strategies, and support
initiatives such as the Courtauld Commitment
and various sustainability programmes.
CRA has extensive experience of providing
support to the food and drink sector. Our
specialists have considerable experience of
delivering projects successfully, and providing
services to companies throughout the sector,
including in:
Food Processing
Intensive Agriculture
Brewing
Dairy Products
Beverages
Retail

3.7 Manufacturing
The manufacturing sector is seen as being
outside of the production activities associated
with the Chemical & Pharmaceutical and Food
& Drink industries. It has evolved and
diversified and includes the engineering and
assembly of consumer goods, and also the
activities of the electronics, automotive, and
aerospace industries, amongst others.
The sector faces an assortment of
environmental and sustainability demands. In
the current economic climate there is also a
developing trend towards business acquisition
and divestment which requires appropriate
support with due diligence risk assessment.
CRA supports companies throughout the
manufacturing sector with raw material receipt
and storage, production and distribution, plant
modifications, decommissioning and demolition,
and business or site acquisition and divestment.
We work in the following sub-sectors:
Aerospace
Automotive
Building and infrastructure products
Electronics and telecommunications
Household products
Medical
Metal production
Paper and pulp
Printing
Click here for more information.
3.8 Waste
The waste sector has experienced significant
challenges over the past decade with both
changes in regulation and a change in focus
away from landfill to alternative waste
management options. The almost universal
acceptance of the waste hierarchy has resulted
in huge changes to the way in which individual
companies consider waste management. This
in turn has provided opportunities for waste
management companies to provide services
increasingly higher up the waste hierarchy.
Stakeholders increasingly expect waste
operators to implement environmental
management systems, develop and report on
corporate responsibility strategies, and support
initiatives such as various sustainability
programmes.
CRA has extensive experience of providing
support to the waste sector, including permit
applications, compliance, emissions monitoring
and modelling, odour assessment, resource
efficiency, and BAT studies. CRA supports
companies throughout the sector, including in:
Waste collection and management
Treatment and recycling processes
Sludge treatment and remediation
Waste to energy, including anaerobic
digestion
Landfill

4.0 OUR SERVICES
4.1 Environmental Compliance
Environmental compliance (that can also
include key aspects of health and safety) can
be defined as conformity with rules, regulations
and procedures typically imposed by
Regulators, or other key external stakeholders
(e.g. consumers and clients), and internal
corporate management systems. Non-
compliance or non-conformity with
environmental demands may have serious
business impacts, directly through
environmental clean-up costs, payment of fines
and other unplanned costs, and indirectly via
reputational damage. It is therefore an
important business priority for an organisation
to manage its activities effectively in order to
comply with environmental requirements.
CRA works closely with clients to offer support
with the identification and management of
environmental compliance issues. We can also
provide training for your staff to help them
maintain an awareness of the ongoing
management needs with environmental
compliance demands.

4.2 Contaminated Land
It is essential in today’s environmentally
conscious world that property owners manage
contaminated land issues. Land impacted by
contaminants frequently forms the unseen
financial and environmental liability associated
with developing, owning or operating facilities.
The financial and reputational costs associated
with poor contaminated land management can
be prohibitive. Regulators are increasingly
scrutinising contaminated land management
procedures and increasing the pressure on
operators with poor practices.
CRA’s technical expertise in contaminated land
management allows clients to quantify their
risks and prioritise their actions. We offer a
complete range of contaminated land services
including: Phase I due diligence assessments;
conceptual models; ground investigation;
human health, controlled water and gas
riskassessments; and remedial design,
implementation and verification. Where
appropriate, CRA liaises with regulators to
agree robust, cost-effective solutions.
CRA has been a global leader in contaminated
land management since its involvement with the
Love Canal Project, a New York State land
remediation project which kick-started the US
contaminated land industry. CRA lead the
remediation of the site in 1977 and remains
involved in monitoring and evaluation. CRA has
also developed specialist data collection tools
and services, including automated field data
collection and processing and GIS applications,
to support our land management work.

4.5 Environmental Impact Assessment
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a
key requirement for many large-scale
development projects. It is used to understand
the potential positive and negative impacts of
major projects on the environment, and
increasingly upon society in general.
The EIA allows decision makers the opportunity
to consider the environmental impacts of a
project before any major decisions and
commitments are made. The assessment
generally leads to the production of an
Environmental Statement (ES) that will
accompany a Planning Application for
consideration by the relevant authority.
CRA works closely with clients to add value
through effective management at key stages of
the EIA process. Our services range from
feasibility studies, through screening and
scoping, to the production of an Environmental
Statement and consultation with regulatory
authorities and appropriate stakeholders. We
can provide support throughout the entire
process. The output of the process can be
tailored to suit a wide range of stakeholders.
CRA’s work in EIA and Planning can support
subsequent work, for example Environmental
Permitting, in which we have significant
capability. Linking Planning and Permitting
activities can save clients significant sums of
money by reducing replication of work and time
needed to familiarise others with what is
required to take a project forward.

4.6 Health and Safety
Health and Safety is not just the top priority at
CRA, it is a core value, and we pride ourselves
on being leading health and safety consultants
in the UK. The care we take with our
employees extends to our clients. As CRA has
grown, our environmental services have
expanded and become integrated with a wider
health, safety and environmental management
service approach. As health and safety
consultants, we now provide a number of niche
services in health and safety management,
from asbestos surveys to DSEAR assessments
and training. In addition, CRA works with
clients to provide COMAH support and CDM
Coordinators.

4.7 Information Management
Managing and understanding true
environmental performance and its related data
is an increasing burden placed on
organisations. Regulation and increasing
stakeholder expectations requires robust data
to be collected more quickly and for an ever-
wider range of issues, including greenhouse
gas emissions, chemical hazards, due diligence
and corporate responsibility. Poor data
management and the poor use of data can
result in failures in operational management
and subsequent prosecution, loss of reputation
and significant costs.
CRA’s technical specialists provide guidance on
data needs and the methods for collection in
order to meet specific regulatory requirements
and to comply with sector initiatives or reporting
standards. We can provide personnel who will
work with our clients to develop data
management processes, and collate and
process data. CRA provides IT-based data
collection tools and services, including
automated field data collection and processing,
and GIS applications. CRA has also developed
tools that are tailored for corporate data
collection and aggregation, which can provide
verifiable data for corporate reporting. We also
support clients in sourcing and managing
chemical hazard data to comply with the EU
REACH Regulation.

4.8 Management Systems
The reputational value of gaining certification
for management systems is widely recognised.
CRA has extensive experience in working with
clients to develop and improve their
management systems, as stand-alone systems
for a single discipline or fully-integrated
business management systems. Our experts
also support the work of the International
Organization for Standardisation in the
development of new standards, and guidance
that support the process of developing and
certifying management systems.
Our management systems services include
strategic guidance in system development, gap
analysis, management process development,
auditing, training, and communications
programme development. We also provide
specific technical support for management

4.9 Property and Asset Management
It makes sound business sense for companies
to manage their property and other assets
effectively. Plant and property must be properly
inspected and maintained to minimise risks
during operational life and, once production
lines cease to be economic, or facilities reach
the end of their design life, changes need to be
made to maximise returns. Property is a
valuable asset but that asset cannot meet its
full potential as host to redundant facilities.
CRA works closely with clients to maximise
returns through the efficient use of valuable
assets. We add value through the effective
management of decommissioning and
demolition projects; minimising and controlling
health and safety risks, characterising site plant
and equipment, and managing the contractor
procurement process.
In addition, CRA’s environmental due diligence
work has been shown to save clients significant
sums of money from the purchase price of
property.
