EMAS

Who is it for?

Any organization, public or private, that wishes to improve its behavior in environmental matters can participate.

EMAS’ goal is to promote continuous improvements in the environmental performance of organizations through the establishment and application of an environmental management system, the evaluation of the performance of such system, the dissemination of information on environmental performance, open dialogue with the public and other stakeholders and the active involvement of staff. 

Benefits

One of the main benefits of implementing the EMAS Regulation is that it helps organizations to develop a circular economy through the establishment and application of the Regulation itself.

EMAS seeks to improve the competitiveness and corporate image of organizations that, through this channel, can communicate their environmental achievements to all interested parties and to society as a whole. Organizations participating in EMAS obtain numerous benefits and advantages, among which are:

•        Reduction of economic costs due to an increase in efficiency.
•        Reduction of negative incidents due to an improvement in risk management.    
•        Minimization of waste generated.
•        Resource consumption reduction.
•        Improves stakeholder relationships (clients, local community, regulatory bodies and society in general).
•        Confidence of all interested parties in ensuring compliance with existing environmental legislation.
•        Motivation of employees, increasing awareness and training of workers.
•        New business opportunities.
•        Improved relations with the authorities, allowing easier access to subsidies, aid, administrative simplification, etc.
