Environmental Management System (EMAS) as an Example of Ecological Safety

Summary/Abstract: Ecological safety is a priority in an attempt to fulfil both the requirements of country’s ecological policy and the strategy of sustainable economic development. It may contribute to the modernisation of environmental protection. One of the ways necessary to meet these demands is implementation of the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS), which takes place at the level of enterprise. The basic requirement of Environmental Management System is to systematically reduce negative impact on environment. It could be achieved by integrating the process of decisionmaking concerning environmental protection and the general management system in a company. The system helps to manage the dangers environment is exposed to, minimise its harmful effect, reduce costs, and enhance its competitiveness. Through implementing and adhering to the environmental management system, the positive public image of the company is built in the eyes of customers, national institutions and other market players. Today, future-oriented companies should opt for modern management methods based on quality and environmental criteria. In the light of all the changes in legal regulations concerning environmental protection such an efficiently working environmental management system based on the ISO 14001 standards provides a solid basis to be registered in the Eco-Management and Audits Schemes, EMAS. The implementation as well as the improvement of the environmental management system may help to prevent ecological dangers and thus contribute to an increase of ecological safety.
