The Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) helps companies to systematically improve their environmental performance and report transparently. It covers the requirements of ISO 14001 and goes beyond them. EMAS-certified companies make an effective contribution to environmental protection, reduce costs and assume social responsibility. At the same time, EMAS strengthens the trust of customers and stakeholders in the company's environmental responsibility.
The EMAS environmental management system helps companies improve their environmental performance and reduce costs. It focuses on improving energy and material efficiency, reducing water consumption and waste, and cutting emissions. EMAS promotes transparency and guarantees compliance with legal requirements. Through regular audits and environmental statements, companies can communicate their environmental goals and demonstrate their commitment to environmental protection.

An appropriate management system is also necessary for meeting the requirements of the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG), the Closed Substance Cycle Waste Management Act (KrWG) and the Ordinance on the Security of Energy Supply (EnSimiMaV), and facilitates data management.
