Environmental Management according to EMAS and ISO 14001
We support organisations of all sizes and sectors with implementing and maintaining an environmental management system in accordance with EMAS or ISO 14001.
What does environmental management involve?
In times where sustainability and energy efficiency are becoming increasingly important, an effective environmental management system is essential. With implementing EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) or ISO 14001 we help organisations to enhance environmental and climate protection while also meeting legal obligations such as those under the German Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG).
What is environmental management?
Environmental management involves the systematic recording, monitoring and improvement of an organisation’s environmental performance. It helps you use resources more efficiently, reduce emissions and minimise operational environmental impacts. A structured environmental management system not only protects the environment, but also strengthens your competitiveness and opens up new business opportunities.
Environmental Management according to EMAS
The European environmental management system EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) helps organisations to embed environmental protection systematically and comprehensively into their operational processes. Organisations that implement EMAS automatically fulfil the requirements of ISO 14001 and benefit from improved environmental performance, legal certainty and greater competitiveness. Verification is carried out by officially accredited environmental auditors, who award the EMAS label.
How does EMAS help meet the requirements of the Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG)?
The EnEfG obliges large organisations and energy-intensive SMEs to implement an environmental or energy management system such as EMAS. EMAS supports you in increasing energy efficiency, reducing emissions and saving costs in the long run. Through regular audits by accredited environmental verifiers, your organisation can prove compliance and continuously improve.
