The Green audit process was begun in the 1970s with an intention of identifying the activities carried out in a given institution or company. This was initiated against the background of growing concern over changing climate and related aspects. Green audit is a tool to identify the range of environmental impacts and assess the compliance of the operations on the development and regular activities within an organisation. It may also assess the compatibility of the operations within an organisation or a company with existing applicable laws and regulations and the expectations of their various stakeholders. It further assesses the possible implications and effect of pollution due to the operations within the organisation. The audit also seeks to identify possible means and methods to save investments, enhance work quality, improve health and safety of their employees, reduce liabilities and reduce the rate of environmental pollution. A continuous process of such audit might result in maintaining the quality of these aspects within the premises of any organisation. Most companies, government and non-government bodies and other institutions conduct green audit aiming:

• to ensure that the performance of the institution with respect to environmental activities they are involved in, is in compliance with existing laws and regulations.

• To check the functionality and their operating success including water supply, energy related matters and other similar matters that are related to green operations in the campus

• To formulate or update the institution’s environmental policy, if warranted.

• To measure the environmental impact of operational process related to green activities in the campus.

• To measure the performance of each green related operations and actions in the campus.

To generate a database of green activities for continuous monitoring to assess the success of each of them.

• to identify future potential liabilities.

• to align the institution’s developmental and day to day activities with the stated vision, mission, strategies, etc.

• to identify possible ways to reduce expenditure and running costs on equipment’s, appliances, etc. or try enhance revenue income.

• to improve process and materials efficiency, and in response to stakeholder requests for increased disclosure. The process of green audit based on operational activities within an institution happens not necessarily based on laws and regulations. It might be largely based on awareness and concerns on environmental performances within and outside the institute’s premises. This further strengthens the fact regarding social responsibilities of the organisation. Majority of the institutions that conducted green audits in the recent past has realised the importance of the same as they could easily manage their operational costs and provide good atmosphere to their stakeholders. The green audit also provides opportunities to identify full range of operations within an organisation, the impacts of maintaining and functioning of its operational goods and services, the actual source of raw materials for different activities within the organisation, the costs of operations of its offices, functional units, and other facilities. It also provides chances to understand the relationship with employees, material suppliers, stakeholders, etc. The recommendations, findings and suggestions that emerge during green audit would certainly help the management of the organisation to set up future action plan that best suits to them.
