EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme)

The Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) is a voluntary European Union initiative that helps organizations improve their environmental performance. It encourages businesses, governmental bodies, and other organizations to assess their impact on the environment, set goals for improvement, and regularly report their progress. By participating in EMAS, organizations demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, enhance their reputation, and engage stakeholders. EMAS also provides a framework for environmental management that goes beyond compliance with laws, promoting continuous ecological enhancement. Essentially, it's a tool for businesses to act responsibly while also being transparent about their environmental practices.
