How does EMAS help save resources and reduce energy consumption?

By implementing the EMAS requirements, companies optimize their consumption of resources and energy due to a systematic reduction in the negative impact on the environment. Companies identify the greatest savings in waste management, water and wastewater management, as well as energy consumption.

How does EMAS help to ensure compliance with legal provisions?

Organizations registered in EMAS are required to demonstrate that they invariably comply with the legal requirements for environmental protection. To this end, they have to organize all obligations in this area and introduce procedures guaranteeing that these obligations are met. Entities conduct a thorough analysis of legal requirements and seek to ensure compliance with them. By doing so, they minimize the risk of being fined for non-compliance with complex environmental protection law and are perceived more trustworthy by public administration.

How does EMAS help meet climate change challenges?

EMAS requires entities to implement comprehensive solutions in the area of environmental protection, aimed at achieving tangible results and continuous improvement. The key indicators for assessing a company’s operation include its energy efficiency. Enterprises are obliged, among others, to prevent or minimize emissions of pollutants into the air. At the same time, due to the reporting obligation accounting for energy consumption and air emissions, organizations collect data that helps them meet their statutory reporting obligations.
