EMAS is an instrument designed by the European Union to help organisations improve their environmental performance. The EMAS Helpdesk, operating on behalf of the European Commission, developed tools to help organisations implement EMAS, and is currently having them tested by organisations. The tools are available on the EMAS website here, and are free of access to any company, EMAS-registered or not.
You can use them to:
- Identify your activities and their environmental impacts;
- Calculate and keep track of key environmental indicators;
- Define responsibilities in your organisation if you were to implement EMAS.
The tools are free to use and conceived to save time for organisations willing to collect and analyse environmental data. Feel free to test them, share them with your network if you think they are useful, and send us any feedback to make them better fit your needs!
