The EMAS III Registration is closely interconnected with the ISO 14001 Standard.
However, in addition to what it requires, EMAS III further demands:
-
To prepare a specific Environmental Statement for each site subject to audit.
The Environmental Statement is drafted following the Initial Environmental Analysis and after the completion of each subsequent audit (or audit cycle).
An annual simplified Environmental Statement — mandatory except for a few exceptions — must also be produced, highlighting the variations in data compared to the previous edition.
The Environmental Statement is intended for the public and is written in a concise and understandable manner. -
To prepare an Environmental Report.
The Environmental Report provides the company with an environmental reporting tool for planning, controlling, managing and monitoring natural resources and the effects of human pressure on them.
This system will also support programmatic and management decisions concerning the territory.
This will be implemented through the definition of appropriate objectives and strategies and, during the operational phase, through suitable indicators capable of detecting quantitative and qualitative data on the environmental impact of the company’s activities.
This will provide clear indications regarding any adjustments to objectives and strategies that management should adopt to improve environmental performance. -
To formally communicate its Environmental Policy to the territory (citizens, institutions, communities, etc.).
