EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) Verification

The EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) was introduced as a voluntary initiative to continually improve your organisation’s environmental performance. It is a significant step towards fulfilling the European Commission’s goal of sustainable development.

Verification - We are accredited to deliver EMAS verification ensuring that your organisation’s environmental statement  is both fair and accurate. As part of this process we will verify your conformity to the EMAS regulation, validate your environmental report and assess your environmental management system.

Gap analysis -  We provide a gap analysis service designed to support you in your preparation for verification against the EMAS regulation.

Become an environmental leader
EMAS verification allows organisations of all sizes to disclose their environmental progress and green credentials to the marketplace. This shows a commitment to environmental protection which helps to improve corporate image and reputation.

Continuous improvement
For organisations already certified to ISO 14001, conformity with the EMAS regulation can be achieved in just a few simple steps.

Experience 
LRQA has been at the forefront of standards development and a market leader in certification and training for more than 25 years.

Technical expertise
LRQA's technical experts are part of the ISO technical committee responsible for the development of international environmental standards and can provide first hand insight into the requirements of the standard and the logic behind them.

Our assessors are chosen for their sector-specific knowledge and expertise, which means you can be confident that they’ll understand the environmental challenges you face and the opportunities open to you, whatever industry you are in.

Your business helps LRQA to help others
The profits we generate fund the LRQA Foundation, a charity that supports engineering-related research, education and public engagement around everything we do. All of this helps us stand by the purpose that drives us every single day: working together for a safer world.

We maintain our impartiality by proactively managing conflicts of interest across all LRQA businesses including those which may exist between consultancy and third-party certification services. Click here to learn more.
