Section 3EMAS PresentationThis is an evaluation of the presentation given on EMAS by Mrs.Schlafs.It will start by explaining what EMAS is and the benefits it can offercompanies.EMAS stands for Eco Management Audit Scheme, and byemploying this environmental programme, a company can save between 10% -20% on bills.As a company the two things you need to do is satisfy the customer and make aprofit, so adapting such a programme is ideal, as your saving more money onbills therefore making more profit. EMAS offer to save companies 1% wasteminimisation, which over a period of time can be a large amount of money, aswaste plays a big part in company’s bills as they have to pay to remove thewaste.Companies signed up on the EMAS scheme may also gain more customers as aquarter of consumers tend to avoid companies that are considered notenvironmentally friendly. As an incentive to get companies to sign up to schemessuch as EMAS in order to reduce their energy usage, the government are aimingto increases tax on energy use for businesses. There are laws that lead toprosecution if companies pollute or contaminate and EMAS are trying to helpcompanies use more efficient methods of energy use that means there is no wayto contaminate and pollute. Over a long period of time if companies do not use anenvironmental scheme such as EMAS, then pollution and global warming canlead to heat waves that will put people at risk of death. EMAS is a scheme thattries to avoid companies producing large amounts of factors that can interact withthe environment such as;• Emissions• Waste• Energy use• Drainage• TransportEMAS also try to save money for the companies signed up to their scheme byreducing their overall costs; these costs can be very expensive and below are afew examples;14
• Machines• Materials• Waste• Energy (Electric, Gas etc.)• Water• Taxes• Rent• RatesHopefully if a company signs up on the EMAS scheme, all these costs can belowered and the company can save money, but more importantly theenvironment will be saved too, as EMAS’s moral is to protect the society,environment and employers.BS EN ISO 1400The ISO 1400 family address many different aspects ofenvironmental systems. It serves as a frame work for othercompanies to create their more detailed environmental plan. Themain aim of ISO 1400 is to continually monitor and improve itsenvironmental output. ISO 1400 is put in place to help companiessave money while cutting down on environmental impact. It helps companies toreduce waste, recycle etc. it is not mandatory for any company to comply with theISO 1400 scheme but it is in their interest to do so. ISO 1400 can only work if thecompany is 100 percent committed to the scheme. if a company complies withthe ISO 1400 regulations then it can be used as a selling point for their productsas it shows that they are actively trying to reduce their environmental impact,therefore trying to be as green as possible. When a company complies with thelegislation that is given to them they will then be audited every year, this is toensure that they are still trying to achieve the lowest environmental impactpossible. Also by using ISO 1400 it reduces the risk of regulatory andenvironmental fines and is also increases the companies efficiency.Some of the legislation for ISO 1400 is;• ISO 14001 Environmental management systems—Requirements withguidance for use• ISO 14004 Environmental management systems—General guidelines onprinciples, systems and support techniques• ISO 14015 Environmental assessment of sites and organizations• ISO 14050 terms and definitions.• ISO 14062 discusses making improvements to environmental impact goals.• ISO 14063 Environmental communication—Guidelines and examples• ISO 14064 Measuring, quantifying, and reducing Greenhouse Gasemissions15
