EMAS REGISTRATION - Validation of the Environmental Declaration for the purposes of EMAS registration

The validation of the Environmental Declaration issued pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/2026 represents the recognition of the further commitment of an organization (Environmental Declaration) in developing an efficient environmental management system as the results of its performances are communicated to the public.

EMAS is a management system based on the ISO 14001 standard, but more demanding, which becomes a tool, evaluated by a recognized organization, through which complete and correct environmental communications on environmental performance are guaranteed, offering greater certainty to customers, authorities and citizens.

CSI operates as an independent third-party body, accredited by Accredia, for the validation of the Environmental Declaration.

better business management, also from the point of view of saving energy and natural resources

competitive advantages translated into terms of increased customer satisfaction, expansion of its market and improvement of the corporate image
