Volume 16 in the series EcoEfficiency in Industry and Science, describes the European Union's
EcoManagement and Audit Scheme (EMAS. This has been in existence since 1995, with over 3,000 sites
registered to the Scheme. However, even now, there are very few texts which address the specific requirements
of the standard and provide "real world" examples of the practical considerations companies and sites must contend
with in order to successfully earn registration to the Scheme. Until now, no author has synthesized the controversies,
debates, developments and amendments which have surrounded and impacted this often controversial scheme.
This text breaks down each component of the EMAS regulation, including the appendices and applicable EU
guidance documents on the topic, providing a step-by-step analysis of the Scheme. In addition, the work provides
examples of three of Akzo Nobel Incorporated's manufacturing locations which have been registered to EMAS,
providing examples of how to meet the requirements of the Scheme.
The target audience is threefold:
First, environmental managers who are considering implementing EMAS in their firms, but who
have little knowledge of the Scheme, will find the work highly useful
Secondly, university students, professors and programs who study environmental auditing as part of their
coursework, and who are seeking a solid overview of the program may employ the text
Finally, verifiers in the countries which are recent additions to the EU may use the work to familiarize themselves
with the requirements of the Scheme.

environmental managers who are considering implementing EMAS in their firms, but who have little knowledge
of the Scheme
university students, professors and programs who study environmental auditing as part of their coursework, and
who are seeking a solid overview of the program
