EMAS Awards 2012

The European Commission has selected the following theme for the 2012 European EMAS Awards:

“Water Management (incl. water efficiency & water quality)”

Life is impossible without a sufficient supply of clean water. Water bodies provide drinking water as well as process water for manufacturing goods. They are also habitats for many plants and animal species and contribute to preserving biological diversity.

Therefore, a sound water management is necessary. EMAS puts a strong emphasis on the continuous improvement of registered organisations’ environmental performance. For example, by using the EMAS key environmental core indicator on water, organisations can measure their environmental performance in this area. This provides a basis for managerial decisions that lead to improvement of the water efficiency and the water quality.  

Further information will be available soon.
