Founded in 1992, Vanguard has always served a diverse clientele throughout Business and Industry in the ever-evolving regulatory compliance field requiring precision due diligence and implementation of each client's site-specific Environmental Management System for over 60 EPA, OSHA, & DOT Compliance Laws in the U.S.  Now that same form of Regulatory Compliance Management and Technologies are available to companies in the 27 member nations of the European Union.  Such laws like REACH, WEEE/RoHS, E-PRTR, and so many more directives, have impacted all of Industry in the EU, which motivates Vanguard to respectfully provide ourselves as a resource to our friends in Europe.  In the case of Environmental Protection, along with workplace Safety & Health compliance, there are no barriers when assistance is offered in a friendly, respectable manner, no matter where the client may be.  This is why Vanguard looks forward to being a part of the local fabric of commerce throughout the EU.

Vanguard's mission-control style combines the departmental expertise of Engineering, Environmental Science/Technology, OSHA Education/Training, and Regulatory Specialists supported by a Vanguard-copyrighted $30M (EUR) intellectual property to screen and manage the client's EHS compliance against “The Government’s Benchmark,” thus satisfying the client’s regulatory compliance and deadlines for Total Quality Environmental Management.  Vanguard’s Compliance Gap Analysis yields such deliverables as the client’s Regulatory Compliance Agenda, Regulatory Calendar & Deadlines, Inspection-Style Walk-Through, Decision Matrix and Online Hazardous Materials Management Program.  Vanguard's philosophy features a flat-rate cost as opposed to excessive hourly fees.  Thus, the client always maintains control and accountability.

Operating like a third-party CPA firm, Vanguard literally satisfies a company's compliance requirements turn-key so the client’s personnel can return its attention the company’s core business priorities.  This feature, alone, more than offsets the cost of Vanguard’s fees.  But Vanguard’s compliance excellence is what makes the client happiest!

Rendering the primary benefits of Risk Mgt. Against Enforcement Penalties, Legislative Updating and Technical Representation During Enforcement Inspections, Vanguard serves its clients through a long term relationship since so many EHS laws require annual compliance.  Vanguard’s Engineering Department is also certified for Lead Auditing relative to ISO-14001 (EMS) and ISO-18001 (OHSMS) Certifications.  Vanguard’s EMS (covering environmental, workplace safety & transportation protocols) is designed expressly for EU directives to perfectly complement any organization seeking certification on Eco-Management Audit Schemes (EMAS).

In addition to the three offices installed in the EU, there are plans for many more offices throughout Europe, along with international offices planned for every industrialized continent in the world.  Vanguard maintains 17 offices in the U.S. with plans for 35 major cities in North America.  A Canadian EMS is soon to be completed.  European-based companies will be pleased to have Vanguard at its disposal in both hemispheres.  A debt-free corporation, Vanguard's credentials and affiliations include: 300+ combined years in EHS field experience with 100+ college degrees & EHS certifications.  Vanguard looks forward to the advice and mentorship from the EU citizenry operating companies and meeting their compliance challenges in the E.U.
