Services across five practice areas
From first gap assessment to certification audit and the years after it — management systems, business excellence, health & safety, sustainability and GRC, built to agree with each other.
Management Systems
Building, auditing and improving certified management systems — from first gap assessment to certification and beyond. Engagements are scoped to where you already are. A site with no system needs different help from one preparing for a recertification audit.

Improve
Turning audit findings and process data into changes that hold.

Auditing
ISO 14001:2026 replaces the 2015 edition, with certificates required to transition by April 2029 — we run transition gap assessments against the revised text. Certification is granted by an accredited certification body, not by QualityGuru; we prepare you for that audit and support you through it.
Business Excellence
Making the management system pay for itself — waste out, capability up, measured in the numbers your plant already reports. Improvement work is run on your own lines, with your own teams, against a baseline agreed before we start. Projects are scoped to close in weeks, not quarters.
Diagnose
Finding where the money and the capacity are actually going.
- Value stream mapping
- Cost of poor quality (COPQ) assessment
- OEE baseline study
- Process capability study (Cp / Cpk)
- Measurement system analysis (MSA)

Improve
Structured problem solving on the shop floor, not in a conference room.
- Kaizen events
- 5S implementation
- Six Sigma DMAIC projects
- Poka-yoke deployment
- Setup time reduction (SMED)
- 7 wastes elimination
Sustain
Gains that survive the consultant leaving and the next shift change.
- TPM deployment
- TQM framework development
- Daily management & KPI systems
- Standard work development
- Benchmarking & excellence assessment
- Improvement capability building

Belt-level Lean and Six Sigma training is delivered through our Annual Training Contract.
Occupational Health & Safety
Hazard-led safety work — audits that go to the switchboard and the guard, and drills that test the plan properly. Safety findings are ranked by risk and by how quickly they can be closed, so a plant manager can act on the report the week it lands rather than filing it.
Assess
Physical audits of the plant, not a document review of the manual.
- Safety audit to IS 14489:2018
- Electrical safety audit
- Machine safety & guarding audit
- Fire safety audit
- Ergonomics assessment
- Hazard identification & risk assessment (HIRA)
Control
Systems that decide who may do the work, and under what conditions.
- Work permit system development
- Lock out tag out (LOTO) programme
- Contractor safety management
- Chemical safety & COSHH controls
- Confined space programme
- Work-at-height programme
Prepare & sustain
Testing the response before an incident tests it for you.
- Emergency preparedness & response plans
- Emergency drills & evacuation exercises
- Incident investigation & root cause analysis
- Behaviour-based safety programmes
- Safety committee facilitation
- Safety culture assessment
Programmes & standards
Audits & assessments
Drills & exercises
Management system standards
Indian standards & codes
Technical & ergonomics
The applicable legal register is built for your jurisdiction and site type at the start of the engagement — the Factories Act and state factory rules in India, or the relevant labour and civil defence requirements in the GCC.
Sustainability & ESG
Measuring environmental performance, setting a credible pathway, and reporting it in a form regulators, customers and investors accept. Most organisations arrive with a reporting deadline. The work usually has to start further back, with data that can survive assurance.
Measure
You cannot set a target against a baseline you cannot defend.
- Carbon footprint assessment
- GHG inventory development
- Water footprint assessment
- Life cycle assessment (LCA)
- Circular economy assessments
Strategise
Turning the baseline into a pathway with dates, owners and capital attached.
- ESG strategy & roadmap development
- Net Zero strategy development
- Decarbonisation planning
- Climate risk assessment
Report & embed
Disclosure is the visible part; the systems behind it are what get audited.
- Sustainability reporting (GRI / BRSR)
- Sustainable supply chain programmes
- Waste & resource optimisation
- Green building advisory
- Sustainability training & awareness
Environmental compliance & EPR
Environmental compliance
Keeping the site legally able to operate, with the paperwork an inspector will ask for.
- Environmental compliance audit
- Consent to Establish / Operate (CTE / CTO) support
- Environmental clearance & EIA support
- Hazardous waste authorisation
- Environmental statement (Form V) filing
- Pollution control board liaison
EPR support
Producer, importer and brand owner obligations across waste streams.
- EPR registration on the CPCB portal
- Obligation calculation & target planning
- Quarterly and annual returns filing
- EPR certificate procurement
- Recycler due diligence & traceability
- Barcoding and labelling compliance
Waste streams covered
Each stream has its own rules, targets and registration route.
- Plastic packaging — PWM Rules
- E-waste — E-Waste Rules 2022
- Batteries — BWM Rules 2022
- Tyres — end-of-life obligations
- Hazardous waste — HOWM Rules
- Used oil and other categories

Principles, nature & goals
Green building
Which framework applies depends on where you are listed, who buys from you, and who lends to you. We confirm current applicability for your entity at the start of an engagement rather than assuming it.
Governance, Risk & Compliance
Governance structures, risk assessment and control testing for boards, audit committees and management teams. Risk registers that live in a spreadsheet nobody opens are the usual starting point. The work is making risk and control part of how decisions actually get made.
Govern
Clear ownership, defined authority, and a compliance obligation register that is current.
- Corporate governance framework development
- Compliance management systems
- Internal audit programmes
Assess risk
Enterprise, information, third-party and ESG risk on one consistent method.
- Enterprise risk management (ERM)
- Information security risk assessment
- Vendor & third-party risk assessment
- Fraud risk assessment
- ESG risk assessments
- Business continuity planning
Comply & control
Testing whether the controls you have described are the controls you operate.
- Regulatory compliance assessment
- Internal control reviews
- Compliance training programmes
Standards & frameworks
Information security & privacy
Data protection law
Governance & IT governance
Risk & compliance management
SOC 2 reports are issued by a licensed CPA firm. We prepare the control environment, run the readiness assessment and remediate gaps ahead of the examination.
How an engagement runs
Every engagement follows the same five stages, whatever the practice area.
Scope & diagnose
Site visit, document review and interviews to establish what exists and what is claimed.
Report the gap
A written gap assessment with findings ranked by risk and effort — not a generic checklist.
Build
Documentation, controls and processes developed with your team. Your people draft; we review and challenge.
Train & verify
Competency training, then an internal audit to test whether the system holds under examination.
Support the audit
Certification, surveillance or customer audit support, then a defined handover.
Useful to have ready
- Current certificates and their expiry dates
- Last audit report and open findings
- Customer or regulator requirements driving the work
- Headcount by department and shift pattern
What you get back
- Scope note and indicative timeline
- Applicable standards and frameworks confirmed
- Proposed engagement stages
- Training calendar, where relevant
Start with a gap assessment
The quickest way to find out what an engagement would involve is a scoping conversation, followed by a short gap assessment against the standard or framework you are aiming at.
