Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS)

The Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) is a voluntary program initiated by the European Union that helps organizations improve their environmental performance. Under EMAS, businesses assess their environmental impact, set goals for improvement, and publicly report on their progress. This initiative encourages transparency and accountability, allowing companies to showcase their commitment to sustainability. By participating in EMAS, organizations can enhance their reputation, comply with legal requirements, and contribute positively to environmental conservation, all while involving staff and stakeholders in their efforts to be more eco-friendly.
