EMAS is the abbreviation for Eco Management and Audit Scheme, also known as the EU Ecological Audit or eco-audit. EMAS was developed by the European Union, and is a combined environmental management and environmental business auditing system for organisations which want to improve their environmental performance. The EMAS directive (Ecological Audit Directive) allots a decisive role to business itself for controlling its direct and indirect environmental impacts.

The EMAS business environmental management system is an expression of how we take responsibility for our own actions.

As part of our responsibility for environmental protection we document this for the authorities, the public and all our employees by means of the certification by an independent expert, and by means of seamlessly documented environmental audits, and our regular public environmental declarations.
