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.

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.

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 contact us.
