EMAS - Publications

The tourism sector has significant environmental impacts. Using EMAS to reduce them also makes sense from an economic point-of-view.

ISO 26000 is an international standard providing guidance on social responsibility. EMAS can be used to implement its recommendations, as demonstrated in this fact sheet (2013).

EMAS is applicable worldwide. Companies and other organisations outside the European Union will find more information on how to apply in this fact sheet (2012).

With the EMAS Global mechanism, EMAS is available worldwide. This is particularly useful for multinational organisations that wish to implement a unified environmental management system throughout their sites within and outside of Europe.

This EMAS brochure provides 9 reasons as to why a company or organisation should register for EMAS. The brochure gives a thorough explanation of each reason for registering with EMAS.

For detailed information on EMAS Global, the European Commission has published an official EMAS Global guide (legislative text).

Resource efficiency is a priority for the European Union. This two-page document highlights the contribution of EMAS-registered organisations and describes how EMAS can help any organisation to better manage its resources.
