EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) is an environmental management tool established by the European Commission to help organisations improve their environmental performance. Through the EMAS Regulation, it supports organisations in evaluating, reporting, and enhancing their impact on the environment, with benefits such as energy savings and optimised resource use. EMAS registration offers advantages including improved internal processes, reduced environmental impacts, and greater legal compliance. The scheme encourages organisations to balance environmental responsibility with business success, providing resources and opportunities to lead the way towards a more sustainable future.
