6. INTRODUCTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL TOOLS
EMAS. Eco-Management and Audit Scheme
Incorporate the EN ISO international standard as part of its management system.
It is a voluntary environmental management and auditing system which establishes a structured process aimed at improving environmental protection in industrial activities by developing policies, programs and environmental management systems.

INTRODUCTION
THIS IS THE KEY ASPECT THAT DEFINES THE PRIORITIES AND COMMITMENTS THAT THE ORGANIZATION MAKES AND MUST BE PUT DOWN IN WRITING AT THE HIGHEST MANAGERIAL LEVEL.
IT MUST SHOW:
SCOPE

COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION
RISK CONTROL
MINIMISATION OF WASTE
ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP

COMMITMENT TO CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

EMAS. Eco-Management and Audit Scheme
INTRODUCTION
Once the Environmental Policy has been defined the organization commits to compliance with environmental legislation. This means that the organization must establish procedures to:
Legal compliance is obligatory and organizations that decided to implement EMAS voluntarily adopt a commitment to continuous improvement. As such, to go beyond mere legal compliance and improve environmentally speaking, they must:
Establish environmental objectives and goals.
Establish environmental programs.
Identify environmental aspects (that is, how the organization affects the environment.)
Establish legal requirements. Knowledge of the legislation that applies to each organization is not, in itself, sufficient. One must identify the legal requirements applicable to the organization in order to achieve strict legal compliance

PLANNING
EMAS. Eco-Management and Audit Scheme
ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS
“The organization must establish and keep up-to-date the procedures for identifying the environmental aspects of its activities, products or services that are within its control and which it can influence, in order to determine those that have, or may have, significant impact on the environment.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Once the environmental aspects have been identified one must:
Proceed to evaluate the severity of the impact,
Identify the impacts.
Describe the affected environment.
Predict and estimate the impact.

27. CHARACTERISTICS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS
PLANNING
EMAS. Eco-Management and Audit Scheme
CHARACTERISTICS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS
Comparable: The indicators should be suitable for comparisons and reflect the evolution of environmental behaviour.
Equilibrium: Between the problematic aspects (bad) and promising ones (good).
Continuity: The indicators must be based upon the same criteria and refer to comparable units or time periods.
Up-to-date: The indicators must be updated with sufficient frequency to allow the adoption of appropriate measures.
Clarity: the indicators must be clear and comprehensible.

EMAS. Eco-Management and Audit Scheme
INTRODUCTION
The objective of the Environmental Declaration is to demonstrate and inform
interested sectors and the general public
about the evolution of an organization's environmental behaviour
and the results of pollution control
used by the organisation
in order to minimise environmental impacts.
The information published by the organization must
correspond to the
reality of the organization and be exact, accurate, validated, verified and
clearly reflect the environmental situation of the organization.
It must also be confirmable and not give rise to confusion or errors.
Lastly, if the Environmental Declaration is corporative then the
significant impacts of each associated centre
must be clearly established.
