Possibility of continuous organisational review and improvement.
My general experience or observation is that the organisations undergoing this audit are really putting affected communities at the heart of their activities.
In my experience, the organisations that undergo such audits do so not only for reasons of good publicity, but also and above all because they themselves are convinced of the importance of CHS audits. This has been the most impressive experience for me so far.
