An Innovative Use of Eco-management Scheme: some New Applications
With the aim to improve their
eco-efficiency and thus its reputation and the sustainability
of their business, many companies want to lower their
impact on the environment. To help organizations achieve
this goal, the CCR identifies, evaluates and documents best
environmental management practices (BEMPs) for the
different sectors, in collaboration with stakeholders. The
results of this work are some sectoral reference documents
(SRD) on best practices in environmental management.
This activity is part of the European Commission's work to
implement the system of EU management and Audit
Scheme (EMAS), a voluntary framework for enterprises
and other organizations to evaluate, report and improve
their environmental performance
