It’s a real pleasure to see a further take up of sustainable business practices and that they are increasingly linked to resource efficiency. More and more organisations of all sizes and types recognise that resource efficient business practices both optimise their environmental performance and make them more competitive. This means they are more and more motivated to ‘do well by doing good’.
This certainly holds true for EMAS registered organisations! All t European EMAS Awards winners and nominees deserve praise as pioneers of systematic and innovative environmental management. Implementing the premium environmental management tool EMAS means your organisation is already a role model for others all over the world. But winning an EMAS Award really means you belong to the best of the best.
