UNDERSTANDING AMFORI BEPI

Better information. Clearer environmental action.

amfori BEPI helps businesses identify and address environmental risks in their supply chains. It combines site-based risk assessment, environmental monitoring and continuous improvement, with attention to the activities and impacts of each facility.

CEB helps your team connect the programme’s expectations with your operations. We clarify the preparation scope, organise environmental information and identify gaps in the available evidence. Together, we turn the priorities into a practical plan with clear responsibilities and next steps.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Your questions, answered.

Useful answers about amfori BEPI consultancy, environmental risk assessment and preparing your site for the next step.

Is amfori BEPI an environmental certification?

No. BEPI is a programme for environmental risk management and improvement. Environmental monitoring produces audit ratings rather than a certificate. CEB supports your preparation and action planning; it does not issue an amfori BEPI certificate or guarantee a rating.

What is the difference between risk assessment and an audit?

The risk assessment is a site questionnaire completed using self-declared information. It helps identify priorities. Environmental monitoring is an on-site audit that reviews evidence and practices. CEB can help you organise preparation for the activity agreed with your customer.

Which environmental topics does BEPI cover?

BEPI covers eight areas: environmental management systems, energy and climate, air emissions, water and effluents, waste, biodiversity, chemicals and nuisances. The preparation needed depends on your site and the scope of the assessment or monitoring activity.

Who initiates the BEPI risk assessment?

An amfori BEPI member linked to your site can request a risk assessment through the amfori Sustainability Platform. Your site profile helps determine the questionnaire. CEB can support the organisation of your information; platform access and requests remain with the authorised parties.

Can we use our existing ISO 14001 documentation?

Existing environmental procedures and records are a useful starting point. We review how they support your BEPI preparation and identify missing data or evidence. Having an environmental management system does not, by itself, establish that every BEPI information need has been met.

What should we prepare for our first discussion?

Share an overview of your site and processes, the customer request and any deadlines. Let us know which energy, water, waste, permit and monitoring records are available, and whether you have previous findings. We will agree what information is needed next.
