EMAS: for environmental and energy performance
EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) is a comprehensive European environmental auditing system with the same practical value as certification. Organizations that successfully pass EMAS publish a validated environmental statement and are included in national and European registers.
EMAS not only meets the requirements of DIN EN ISO 14001, but also covers parts of energy reporting. This makes EMAS suitable for tax benefits and the completion of legal energy audit obligations.
Normec guides you through the entire process: from initial assessment to validation.

The EMAS process starts with a thorough assessment of all your organization's environmental activities, including compliance with laws and regulations. A continuous improvement process is then set up.
