THE CHALLENGE
Does this sound familiar?
EMAS requires more than ISO 14001: an environmental statement with core indicators, validated every year. If you gather the figures from scratch every year, there is hardly any time left for real improvements.
Collecting data twice
Many of these values are already in your carbon footprint. Yet you collect them a second time.
Time pressure before validation
The data arrives late, and the date with the verifier is set.
THE SOLUTION
Core indicators from data you already have
Many core indicators for your environmental statement are already available in Code Gaia. You analyze them from Climate & ESG instead of collecting them again every year.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about EMAS
What is EMAS?
EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) is the EU’s environmental management system under Regulation (EC) No 1221/2009. It includes all requirements of ISO 14001 and additionally requires a validated, public environmental statement, among other things.
What is the difference between EMAS and ISO 14001?
EMAS builds on ISO 14001. In addition, EMAS organizations publish an environmental statement with core indicators, validated by an accredited environmental verifier.
Does EMAS satisfy the obligation under the Energy Efficiency Act?
Yes. Under the German Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG), an EMAS system satisfies the obligation for an energy or environmental management system just like ISO 50001, today from 7.5 GWh annual energy consumption.
Which core indicators does EMAS require?
EMAS requires core indicators on energy efficiency, material efficiency, water, waste, land use with regard to biodiversity, and emissions.
