People & Network
Enhesa's dynamic, highly trained and experienced team of multilingual
consultants have an in-depth knowledge of regulatory and policy issues at
global, regional, national and local levels.
Amongst our team alone we have more than twenty different nationalities and speak twenty
three different languages. This diversity helps us to keep our ears to the ground
and keep track of the changing EHS regulatory scene internationally so that we
can provide what we're in business for: Global EHS compliance assurance support.
Digesting and analysing all of this information is a key function, but so is
making sure that everything behind the scenes runs smoothly, that services and
products are delivered on time, that clients are properly looked after and that
the organisation moves forward well as a whole.
Let us introduce you to some of the people that make it happen:

Global Network
Although Enhesa has an impressive team of EHS regulatory and policy
consultants, it is impossible to cover all countries and issues in-house.
Since its inception more than 15 years ago, Enhesa has been building a network
of local consultants and international experts to assist its customers.
This vast network of more than 300 experts encompasses national EHS
regulatory experts, policy advisers, law firms, technical consultants, etc.
Each network expert is vetted and tested, and everything provided is always
processed through the Enhesa quality assurance system. This ensures high
quality and consistency in what is provided to the customers. This often
involves a long learning curve for the network expert, which is one of the
reasons why Enhesa invests in its network experts for the long-term, identifying
local strengths and weaknesses and making the most of the capabilities
available. Most of our network consultants have been working for us for more than 5 years.
With the growing demand for its services and the growing geographic coverage,
Enhesa is continuously looking to strengthen its network. If you feel you
have the right expertise to assist Enhesa in its mission, feel free to
