4. 1. What is environmental auditing in Europe? obligatory - voluntary “ Environmental auditing ” is the systematic, documented, periodic and objective evaluation of the performance of an organization to protect the environment and to manage the environmental aspects with the aim of: Facilitating management control of practices which may have an environmental impact Assessing environmental policy compliance, including the organization’s environmental objectives and targets

14. The international standard ISO 14001:2004 encourages businesses to implement an environmental management system, or EMS. An EMS is driven by the environmental mission of the organisation (Policy statement), is concerned by the environmental impact of products, activities, and services; sets environmental objectives; meets legal and regulatory requirements; provides training to employees; and provides for oversight and auditing procedures. Many companies find that adhering to the ISO 14001 standard, which is a continuation of the ISO 9000 quality standards, helps to meet the ever-increasing environmental requirements and concerns of the global marketplace.

15. ISO 14001- EMAS (EC Regulation 1221/09) ISO 14001 International model, which has been used in Italy since 1996 as UNI EN ISO (UNI is the Italian Standards Organisation). This guideline shows its APPLICATION: Voluntary schemes for organisations willing to commit themselves to evaluating and improving their environmental performance Process control EMAS (EC Reg.1221/2009) The scheme, available to companies since 1995 (EEC Regulation No 1836/93) was originally restricted to companies in industrial sectors. EMAS has been open to all economic sectors including public and private services since 2001 (EC Regulation No 761/2001). In addition, EMAS was strengthened by the integration of ISO 14001 as the environmental management system required by EMAS. europa.eu.int/comm/environment/emas/documents/legislative_en.htm 3.

24. Validation and Registration The environmental review, EMS, audit procedure and environmental statement must be approved by an accredited EMAS verifier and the validated environmental statement (ES) needs to be sent to the EMAS Competent Body for registration and made available to the public before an organisation can use the EMAS logo. The Eco-audit Eco-Label Committee for EMAS is a body of the Member State of EC nominated by the government. Organisations that have published the validated ES document are included in the Official European Registry www.europa.eu.int/comm/environment/emas For Registration : ISPRA is the agency that collaborates with the Italian EMAS Committee to verify the environmental data and legal compliance declared in the ES VALIDATION AND REGISTRATION 5.

37. COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION of 10 July 2003 Guidance for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 761/2001 (EMAS) concerning the selection and use of environmental performance indicators (now integrated in the new EMAS Regulation) The three types of indicators in Europe are: CHECK: Monitoring and Measurement of INDICATORS
38. Operational performance indicators (OPIs) : These concentrate on the aspects associated with an organisation's operations including activities, products or services and can cover such topics as emissions, product and raw material recycling, fuel consumption of vehicle fleet, or energy usage. Example: Waste indicator % recycling waste Kg per tonnes of product 6. EMAS: environmental indicators Public administration organisation Private organisation
39. Management Performance Indicators (MPIs) : These concentrate on the efforts of management to provide the infrastructure for environmental management to succeed and can, among others, cover environmental programmes, objectives and targets, training, incentive schemes, audit frequency, site inspections, administration and community relations. Example: Eg. The number of hours spent on training operators Number of objectives obtained Percentage of land planned to remain as or become natural habitat or green areas (per year) 6. EMAS: environmental indicators Public administration Private organisation
40. Environmental Condition Indicators (ECIs) : These give information on the quality of the environment surrounding the organisation or the local, regional or global state of the environment. Examples include the water quality of a nearby lake, the regional air quality, concentrations of greenhouse gases or the concentration of certain pollutants in the soil. Number of new public waste storage areas The % of waste differentiation obtained Quality of a river near the waste storage of an organisation The % of recycled waste compared to the % of eliminated waste Example: 6.

EMAS: Environmental Statement annex IV, EC 1221/2009 ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT http://europa.eu.int/comm/environment/emas/documents.htm The data generated by an environmental management system will be used in a number of different ways to show the environmental performance of an organisation. For this purpose organisations may use relevant existing environmental performance indicators .
