Our Services Offered
Environmental Site Assessment / Due Diligence
Baden Consulting conducts Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments in accordance with ASTM E1527. We assist our clients in investigating any potential risks or contamination. Through site reconnaissance, interviews, desktop data review, and consultation of relevant authorities we offer a detailed evaluation of the site that you intend to purchase or rent.
Audits and Assessments
Whether the audit shall be based on Swiss regulatory, permit, company-internal or ISO-14001 requirements, we offer the full service from goal definition together with the client, planning and checklist creation up to audit execution and documentation including the proposed improvement measures. This is done in a professional, goal-oriented manner strictly aiming at organizational improvement. The duration of the actual audit typically lies between half a day and several days (without including the time for preparation and documentation).
Interim Management of Projects or Organizational Units / Resource as a Service (RaaS)
For a time period to be agreed upon you can entrust our consultant the management of specific environmental or sustainability management projects, e.g. to compensate for a temporary lack of manpower or special know-how. Alternatively our consultant can manage one of your departments ad interim. The mandate can be full-time or part-time.
Environmental Management Systems / ISO 14001
We help companies implement environmental management systems according to ISO 14001 and help them prepare for certification as well as support the regular maintenance of the system by auditing, training, keeping the documentation up-to-date and facilitating management reviews.

Hazardous Materials & Dangerous Goods Management
Our experts assist our clients in meeting the requirements pertaining to hazardous materials and dangerous goods management, covering storage, transportation and disposal. Preventing spills and workplace accidents are our highest priority. We ensure compliance with national and European regulations, e.g. the Seveso III Directive aimed at controlling major chemical accident hazards.
Facility Optimization
Circular business model strategies as well as assessing carbon footprints are methods we use to help our clients reduce their environmental impact. We deal with each facility individually, providing it with its own customized optimization plan. Our solutions include new and innovative technologies to ensure efficiency in resource use and reduction of the carbon footprint.
Waste Reduction, Recycling and Reuse
We analyze waste streams and investigate innovative solutions to increase the percentage of reused and recycled waste in a sustainable manner. Our consultants thus help clients divert more product and waste from incinerators or landfills, reducing overall residual waste and optimizing recycling.
Energy Management Programs
Energy security is currently a major concern in Europe. Governments are encouraging companies to reduce fossil fuel use and their carbon footprint. Many companies have chosen to meet these challenges and in turn invest in sustainable energy sources. At Baden Consulting we develop individualized energy saving plans. Our process includes understanding the current energy use, setting energy reduction goals, creating and implementing an energy saving program, and finally ensuring the sustainability of the program.
Product Sustainability Improvement
Baden Consulting works closely with clients to help them understand their products’ impact on the environment and determine how to implement a more sustainable design. We examine the entire lifecycle from design and development, materials used, product packaging and use up to material reuse, recycling and waste reduction. Our consultants can cover numerous industries.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Social License to Operate (SLO)
Our consultants help set up ESG, CSR and SLO programs. We provide our clients with a clear framework with Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to monitor and and sustain their programs.
