EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme)

The Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) is an official business certification which recognizes organizations that demonstrate leadership in environmental performance and sustainable development. It provides a framework for businesses to measure, improve, and communicate their environmental performance through rigorous self-evaluation, independent verification, and public reporting of the results. EMAS also measures economic and social sustainability, allowing businesses to align their goals with those of their stakeholders and society as a whole. By implementing EMAS, companies are able to streamline their operations while reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and demonstrating good corporate citizenship in terms of environmental management.
