ISO 14001 and EMAS

An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a set of processes and practices that enable an organization to reduce its environmental impacts and increase its operating efficiency.

Main EMS aims are:

• UNI EN ISO 14001:2004
  The UNI EN ISO 14001:2004 as well as being easily integrated with other quality management systems (ISO 9001:2000) and / or safety (OHSAS 18001), is the fundamental requirement for any EMAS registration.
