Your Trusted EHS Partners in Japan.
Turning EHS Challenges into Corporate Value.

Who We Are

Japan EHS Audit Co., Ltd. (JEA) is a company that specializes in audits and consulting, specializing in the EHS (Environmental Safety and Occupational Health and Safety) field within ESG (Environment, Society and Governance).

Our experts, who are well-versed in domestic and international laws and regulations as well as global standards, will provide one-stop solutions to your company's challenges, from assessing the current situation to correcting the issues, building systems, and providing ongoing support.

By utilizing AI technology, EHS audits, which previously relied on the subjective judgment of human auditors, have evolved into objective, consistent, and high-quality audits. Furthermore, bilingual support in Japanese and English allows seamless support for global companies. This makes it possible to provide EHS audit services that are faster, more efficient, and more affordable than ever before, and are highly cost-effective.

JEA does not simply provide defensive risk management, but positions EHS as a proactive strategy for increasing corporate value, and will continue to be your partner that strongly supports your company's sustainable growth.

Bridging the Gap between Global EHS Standards and the Japanese Market.

Are you struggling to implement EHS policies from your overseas parent company or global headquarters because they don't align with the realities or legal regulations of your Japanese sites? Or perhaps you're feeling frustrated because you can't effectively report the excellent initiatives or challenges of your Japanese sites to headquarters in English?

This kind of "disconnect" regarding EHS, which is unique to global companies, not only creates compliance risks but can also hinder the growth of the entire company.

Japan EHS Auditing Co., Ltd. (JEA) exists to be that very "bridge." JEA's experts are well-versed in Western safety and health standards such as US OSHA, various EU directives, and UK HSE, as well as international codes of conduct like RBA and SA8000. At the same time, they deeply understand the complex requirements of domestic laws in Japan, such as the Industrial Safety and Health Act, the Chemical Substance Control Law, and the Air Pollution Control Act.

JEA's support goes beyond simple language translation. We grasp the local culture, practices, and the underlying philosophies of legal regulations to localize headquarters' policies into a format that Japanese sites can understand and implement.

Furthermore, we elevate the voices of the Japanese sites into logical reports that overseas management can understand and evaluate. Through bilingual Japanese and English audits, consulting, and report facilitation, we are a unique partner that facilitates smooth cross-border communication and decision-making, providing strong support for building your company's global EHS governance system.

Consistent Audit Quality Achieved through Technology.

"There were no problems in last year's audit, but this year, as soon as the auditor changed, serious issues were raised," or "The level of issues raised varies depending on the auditor's experience and interpretation, making it difficult to prioritize improvements." This kind of "variability" in audit quality is a serious concern for many companies. It causes confusion on the ground, hinders planned improvement activities, and is a major obstacle to improving EHS performance.

To solve this fundamental problem, JEA has built a unique audit system that combines people and technology. In JEA's audit process, on-site auditors focus on collecting objective facts and evidence (evidence photos, documents, and interview records). All collected information is then immediately consolidated into a cloud system, and the final determination of compliance with laws, regulations, and standards and risk level is made by a team of experienced experts at headquarters with the support of AI.

This EHS-AI has learned from a database of over 4,700 past findings that have led to industrial accidents or legal violations, and provides strong support for expert judgment by searching for similar cases, presenting legal provisions that should be referenced, and proposing standard risk levels.

This minimizes reliance on the auditor's personal subjectivity and experience, ensuring consistent, repeatable, and high-quality audit results that are always objective. Data-based, highly transparent audits will accelerate your company's continuous improvement activities.

Your EHS Strategic Partner to Enhance Corporate Value.

EHS is no longer simply a defensive activity that covers costs and fulfills obligations. It is an "offensive strategic investment" that directly leads to increased corporate value by attracting talented personnel, building a strong supply chain, gaining customer trust, and attracting ESG investment. Compliance with laws and regulations is merely the minimum starting point.

JEA is a strategic partner that looks beyond legal compliance and redefines your company's EHS activities in the context of sustainability management, contributing to improving corporate value. JEA supports everything from materiality analysis (identification of key issues) to setting specific sustainability goals (KPIs) and information disclosure in accordance with international standards such as the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) and SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board). We will work with you to create a story that accurately conveys your company's outstanding efforts to stakeholders such as investors, financial institutions, and customers.

In addition, JEA's "EHS Report Assurance Service" is a service that verifies and guarantees the reliability of the EHS-related data and results contained in your company's integrated report or sustainability report as a third party. This assurance dramatically increases the reliability of your company's information disclosure, overcoming criticism of greenwashing and building a solid reputation as a company that truly practices sustainability. JEA will work with you to create a sustainable future.

Trust Built on a Foundation of Results.

JEA, a group of EHS experts, is here to create your future with you. Even before JEA was incorporated, our EHS consultants have spent many years tackling and solving EHS challenges for numerous companies and organizations. Our expertise is broad, with an extensive track record of serving a diverse range of clients, regardless of industry, sector, or company size. This includes major general contractors, domestic and international chemical and manufacturing companies, foreign financial institutions, foreign government-related agencies, and even startups and small businesses with only a few dozen employees.

This "on-the-ground capability," backed by a wide range of experience, is JEA's greatest strength. We go beyond the minimum requirements of legal and regulatory compliance, positioning EHS as a "strategic asset" for enhancing corporate value. We accurately assess risks inherent in business operations and provide concrete proposals based on field-proven insights and objective data to strongly support your sustainable growth.

In an era where EHS and ESG initiatives are no longer just "compliance measures" but a "driving force for enhancing corporate value," JEA acts not as a consultant that simply points out problems, but as a "partner" that thinks and acts alongside you to achieve results and help realize your vision.

Compliance Diagnosis

EHS audit at a chemical plant, with JEA inspectors reviewing chemical safety management and compliance measures.

We will clarify any apparent non-compliances, potential risks, and improvement opportunities related to EHS that your business has from a third-party perspective based on objective criteria.

We cover a wide range of complex domestic and international requirements, including not only Japan's various environmental laws, the Industrial Safety and Health Act, and other labor-related laws, but also global standards (US OSHA, EU directives, etc.).

Our audit system utilizes AI technology to provide highly consistent and reproducible assessments that are not dependent on the subjectivity of human auditors.

However, we can also provide traditional audits led by human auditors, and we offer audit services tailored to your needs. Understanding your current situation accurately is the most important first step to taking effective next steps.

Supply Chain Audit,
Second-Party Audit

Corporate social responsibility extends not only to the company itself but also to the entire supply chain. JEA plans and implements second-party audits of domestic and overseas suppliers and outsourced contractors based on international standards such as RBA (Responsible Business Alliance) and SA8000, as well as human rights due diligence.

In particular, in the area of waste management, where the responsibility of waste generators is strictly regulated, we conduct on-site inspections of waste disposal contractors and external evaluations of their management systems to thoroughly identify compliance risks such as illegal dumping.

We comprehensively evaluate working conditions, human rights, environmental impact, compliance systems, and other factors to identify potential risks. We proactively prevent supply chain issues that threaten business continuity, providing strong support for improving corporate resilience and social credibility.

EHS Due Diligence,
(EHS-DD)

Due diligence (DD) is essential for important business decisions such as M&A, PMI (post-merger integration), and real estate investment.

JEA provides expert assessments of potential environmental liabilities, such as soil contamination and asbestos, as well as social risks, such as poor working conditions and human rights violations, of acquisition and investment targets, helping to reduce the risk of unexpected debt inheritance and damage to brand value.

In recent years, there are many firms that provide due diligence in a wide range of areas, such as ESG and CSR, but there are only a limited number of companies that can carry out specialized due diligence in the EHS field.We encourage you to use JEA for due diligence specialized in EHS.

Management System Construction,
Certification Support

JEA preparing and organizing audit documents to support ISO certification and compliance.

We will move away from ad hoc responses and build robust management systems and BCPs (business continuity plans) to continuously improve performance.

We provide comprehensive support to help our customers obtain certification for a variety of ISO standards, including ISO14001 (EMS) and ISO45001 (OHSMS), as well as ISO9001 (QMS), ISO 46001 (Water Efficiency Management System/WEMS), and ISO 31000 (Risk Management), according to their needs, from analyzing the current situation to creating documentation, responding to audits, and establishing operations.

We can also assist in obtaining certification in more specialized fields, such as AWS (Alliance for Water Stewardship) certification, which specializes in risk management for integrated watershed management, and SA8000, which covers human rights and labor practices.We will help you design a practical and timeless management system that is tailored to your business scale and culture.

Application to ESG Strategies
Consulting

In recent years, there are many firms offering comprehensive ESG consulting services, including support for creating sustainability reports, but there are not many experts specializing in the EHS field.

JEA does not necessarily focus on comprehensive ESG consulting, but rather specializes in "applying" its strengths, its deep, localized EHS expertise, to clients' ESG strategies.

For example, we identify EHS risks, calculate carbon and water footprints, and develop strategies in line with international standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB).

We hope that not only business companies but also consultants who provide comprehensive ESG consulting services will utilize JEA as a trusted partner in the EHS specialty field.

EHS Education,
Training

A company's safety culture is built on the awareness and knowledge of each and every employee. Workplace accidents not only threaten worker safety, but also pose a reputational risk to the company, reducing its value.

JEA designs and implements effective EHS education and training programs tailored to the roles and responsibilities of each employee, from management to supervisors and on-site workers.We can also provide legally required education at the time of employment (related to Article 59 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act), special education (related to Article 59 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act), and education for foremen and others (related to Article 60 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act).

In addition to acquiring legal knowledge, we also offer practical workshops such as KYT (hazard prediction training), ergonomics, and RCA (root cause analysis) of incidents to raise risk sensitivity and foster a safety culture throughout the organization, supporting investment in people, the most important asset of a company.

Step 3: Sustain
Maintenance / Continuous Monitoring

EHS Advisory Services Based on a Regular Retainer

Meeting room at Japan EHS Audit (JEA) used for EHS audit discussions, safety management meetings, and training sessions.

This is an advisory service that acts as a continuous partner, always standing by and supporting your EHS activities. You can access expert knowledge whenever you need it, whether it's answering questions about laws and regulations that arise in your daily work, preparing for inspections by government agencies or business partners, or providing advice when minor incidents occur.

This is ideal for cases where it is difficult to assign a full-time dedicated EHS officer, or when you want to reduce the officer's workload. From providing information on legal changes to risk assessments, we function as your company's "external EHS department."

Spot Consulting,
Ad-hoc Compatible

We provide ad-hoc and spot expert consulting for specific projects that require a high level of expertise, such as the fundamental reconstruction of chemical substance management systems, the investigation of the causes of serious industrial accidents and the formulation of measures to prevent recurrence, or risk management related to specific hazardous substances (such as asbestos).

Utilizing JEA's extensive network of experts, we assemble the optimal team for each issue, leading to solutions for complex and difficult problems that would be difficult for customers to solve on their own.

EHS Specialized Translation and Interpretation,
Research Work

Accurate communication of EHS-related documents is essential for global business operations. JEA offers specialized translation and interpretation services that go beyond simple language translation, with a deep understanding of the technical background and relevant laws and regulations. We can also carry out related research work.

We provide Japanese-English translation and interpretation for important documents where misunderstandings are unacceptable, such as safety data sheets (SDS), audit reports for overseas parent companies, and SOPs (operation procedures) for foreign employees. This facilitates global communication and prevents risks caused by language barriers.
