An environmental management scheme for Europe

Overview

The Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) is a voluntary EU initiative designed to improve your company's environmental performance.  EMAS acknowledges organizations that improve their environmental performance on a continuous basis.

To achieve EMAS, organisations need to be legally compliant, run an environmental management system and report on their environmental performance through the publication of an independently verified (by a third party like BSI) environmental statement. 

EMAS participation is available to any organization with environmental impacts, no matter how large or small and regardless of the activity undertaken, and can cover multiple sites within a single EU country.

Relevant documents can be downloaded from the European Union website.
