A revolutionary new secure portal enabling the sharing of environmental monitoring information with the UK Environment Agency.  It sets a new standard for regulatory reporting, negating often onerous reporting requirements, saving money and building trust

It has been built in partnership with Viridor and the EA, and will now be scaled from three Viridor sites to 50 from July 2011.

Key features and benefits

• Demonstrates work has been scheduled and data collected correctly in line with permits
• Presents data in tabular and graphical forms
• Presents details of our actions to permit trigger breaches
• Demonstrates the continual maintenance of systems
• Data downloadable by Agency staff
• Enables full audit of our performance from Agency offices

We envisage this method will be the future of regulatory reporting across many sectors in the years to come.

The system saves a large amount of time, eliminates duplication of effort and improves the relationships with regulators who can assess performance in a more open format when they choose.

The system also enables them to make judgements not just on compliance with permit targets but more generally on the overarching environmental management process.
