ISO14001 or EMAS ?
Every organization trying to decrease its ecological impact can set up an Environment Management System.
Two frameworks can be used:
* ISO 14001, defined by the International Standardization Organization in 1996 and reviewed in 2004
* EMAS (Eco Management and Audit Scheme). EMAS is the EU tool for measuring the continuous efforts an organization makes in improving its environmental performances.
