Eco Management and Audit Scheme
The EMAS Basics
EMAS was originally introduced in 1993 and revised in 2001 (EMAS II). Since 11 January 2010, the new EMAS Regulation (EMAS III) has been in effect.
Since 1993, EMAS has been the voluntary European environmental management system, an instrument for sustainable development in business and administration.
The Eco-Management and Audit Scheme, or EMAS, was established in 1993 by the European Commission as a voluntary instrument for systematic environmental protection.
The EMAS Register contains information on organisations, environmental statements, and environmental verifiers. The Austrian Environment Agency maintains this directory of registered sites and organisations in Austria. The European Commission hosts the EMAS Register as a web-based database, listing all certified organisations and websites across Europe (including the United Kingdom).
