EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme)

The Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) allows any organization (public or private) to assess, manage, and continuously improve its environmental impact. Unlike other systems, EMAS requires not only an Environmental Management System (EMS) but also the publication of a third-party verified environmental statement, ensuring transparency and credibility for all stakeholders.

Key features:

• Voluntary and open to any sector and organization size.
• Requires legal environmental compliance before registration.
• Promotes transparency through a public environmental statement.
• Use of the official EMAS logo as a mark of environmental commitment.
  
  

Implementation steps:

1. Initial environmental review.
2. Definition of environmental policy and objectives.
3. Development of an EMS.
4. Internal audit.
5. Drafting and verification of the environmental statement.
6. Official registration in EMAS.
   
   

Benefits:

• Improved environmental performance.
• Greater credibility with investors, customers, and society.
• Competitive and reputational advantage.
