EMAS: Honesty / Transparency / Credibility
EMAS is now the chosen scheme for forward- thinking printing companies.
Environmental awareness and improvement, and, therefore, the potential for cost savings is taken to a different level. The (much needed) concepts of honesty, transparency and credibility are introduced - which is great news for print buyers: no more listening to unsubstantiated ‘green’ claims; everything you need to know about a printing company is in the Environmental Statement, which has been externally verified.
EMAS is a relative formality for a printing company with a well run EMS that recognises the need to measure, record and analyse its performance in order to make improvements. A full environmental review is required as is a formal commitment to comply with all relevant legislation and achieve continual environmental improvements. EMAS requires the publication of specific performance information: Core Indicators. These include electricity, gas, water and general waste…which are also, of course, the obvious areas to focus on when looking to reduce outgoing costs. EMAS recognises the importance of staff participation; without which most environmental initiatives are doomed to failure.
Every detail in the Environmental Statement, as well as for performance claims, how it was established, is externally verified before the statement is approved; the same applies to the annual updates.
