Support and preparation before undergoing an assessment using the Hydropower Sustainability Standard (HSS)
Our HSS preparation service provides comprehensive support to organisations aiming to undergo an HSS assessment. The service includes an initial assessment of current practices, a gap analysis against the relevant standards, and a detailed action plan to address deficiencies. We will also offer training and support to guide your policies and procedures in line with the HSS requirements.
Benefits
Readyness
For organisations seeking to secure HSS certification but are unsure about their current state of readiness, our service provides a robust preparatory framework. We meticulously prepare you to meet and potentially exceed the expectations of Accredited Assessors.
Timing
Insufficient preparation can lead to failure in meeting the necessary standards upon initial assessment, resulting in a need for corrective actions and further assessments. Our service minimises this risk, ensuring timely compliance and cost-efficiency by avoiding the additional expenses associated with re-evaluation.
