Its key priorities are:</p><ul><li>efficient use of natural resources (mainly energy, water and paper)</li><li>reduction of overall CO<sub>2</sub> emissions</li><li>waste prevention, recycling and re-use</li><li>green public procurement</li><li>sustainable mobility</li></ul><p>In September 2001 the Commission piloted EMAS in four of its departments in Brussels. Since January 2010, this system has progressively extended to all its departments and their activities and buildings in Brussels, Luxembourg, the Joint Research Centre sites, and at DG SANTE's site in Grange, Ireland. This has significantly increased the number of employees covered from 4000 to approximately 35000.</p><p>The Commission’s political guidelines for the period 2019-2024 recognise the importance of Europe continuing its leading role on the global stage in reducing environmental impacts. They include, at their core, the commitment to develop a European <em>Green Deal</em> under which achieving tougher climate related targets plays a crucial role. In 5 April 2022, the President of the Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, announced the Commission's plans <strong>to become climate neutral by 2030.</strong> </p><p>As a proof of this determination, on Earth Day 2022, committed to gradually reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by <strong>at least 60%</strong> compared to 2005. In addition, the Commission will also rely on carbon removals to neutralise unavoidable emissions and achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.

This approach has made it possible not only to obtain these certifications but also to make all stakeholders aware of the environmental aspects associated with everyday activities. Implementing EMAS also provides an opportunity to take account of the principles of sustainable building management, to optimise heating, lighting and paper consumption, to develop a more sustainable canteen, to select environmentally friendly cleaning products and paint, to reduce and sort waste, and to reduce food waste at events.</p> <p>All measures and results are set out in the <u><a href="https://www.eesc.europa.eu/en/legal-information/environmental-statement" class="ecl-link">European Economic and Social Committee's</a></u> and the <u><a href="https://cor.europa.eu/en/Pages/environmental-statement.aspx" class="ecl-link">European Committee of Region's environmental statement</a></u><u>.</u></p></div> </div> <div class="ecl-u-mb-2xl"> <a id="paragraph_955"></a> <h2 class="ecl-u-type-heading-2">European Council and Council of the European Union</h2> <div class="ecl"> <div class="ecl-media-container ecl-media-container--custom-ratio ecl-u-mb-s ewcms-embed-medium" data-ecl-media-container="true" data-ecl-auto-init="MediaContainer"><figure class="ecl-media-container__figure"><div class="ecl-media-container__media"><img loading="eager" class="ecl-u-width-100 ecl-u-height-auto ecl-media-container__media--ratio-custom" srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/embed_medium/public/2023-07/EU%20Council%20logo_0.png?itok=UMaDEP1X 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/embed_medium_2x/public/2023-07/EU%20Council%20logo_0.png?itok=ymY0dAG8 2x" width="400" height="91" src="/sites/default/files/styles/embed_medium/public/2023-07/EU%20Council%20logo_0.png?itok=UMaDEP1X" alt="European Council and Council of the European Union logo"></div></figure></div> <p>Many of the General Secretariat of the Council's (GSC) activities have some impact on the environment.

It provides finance and technical assistance to achieve sustainable, inclusive growth through two complementary entities, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Investment Fund (EIF). In September 2015, their Board of Directors approved the EIB Climate Change Strategy. Part of this far-reaching initiative was to implement an Environmental Management System for the Group allowing them to manage their internal environmental performance in an effective manner. In December 2018, they obtained ISO14001 certification and then EMAS registration in March 2019.</p> <p>With EMAS, the EIB Group can look forward to an environmentally-conscious future. It will provide a framework to plan and build internal environmental programmes; remove single-use plastics, monitor and improve energy performance, reduce waste, and recycle and reuse resources to their best advantage.

Europol has been ISO14001:2015 certified since November 2021 and EMAS-registered since February 2022.</p> <p>In 2023, the Agency developed its Environmental Vision 2030. Europol aims to reduce its carbon footprint by 55% by 2030 compared to 2018 and thus contribute to the goal of the European Green Deal. This carbon reduction objective is incorporated into Europol’s Environmental Policy as well as into the latest Europol's strategy. In particular, one of the objectives under Europol strategic priority to ‘be the model EU organisation for law enforcement cooperation’ is to minimise its carbon emissions.</p> <p><a href="https://www.europol.europa.eu/publications-events/publications/europol-environmental-statement-2023">Read more about Europol’s environmental performance here.</a></p></div> </div> <div class="ecl-u-mb-2xl"> <a id="paragraph_961"></a> <h2 class="ecl-u-type-heading-2">European Chemicals Agency</h2> <div class="ecl"> <div class="ecl-media-container ecl-media-container--custom-ratio ecl-u-mb-s ewcms-embed-medium" data-ecl-media-container="true" data-ecl-auto-init="MediaContainer"><figure class="ecl-media-container__figure"><div class="ecl-media-container__media"><img loading="eager" class="ecl-u-width-100 ecl-u-height-auto ecl-media-container__media--ratio-custom" srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/embed_medium/public/2023-07/320px-ECHA_Logo.svg_.png?itok=UIu2ooD2 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/embed_medium_2x/public/2023-07/320px-ECHA_Logo.svg_.png?itok=2FOtNxf7 2x" width="320" height="82" src="/sites/default/files/styles/embed_medium/public/2023-07/320px-ECHA_Logo.svg_.png?itok=UIu2ooD2" alt="ECHA logo"></div></figure></div> <p>The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has implemented an environment management system (EMS) since 2015 and has been ISO 14001:2015 certified since 2016. The decision to have a recognised EMS was taken as ECHA’s operational role in contributing towards a better environment under EU legislation on chemicals should be complemented with a commitment to managing its environmental performance as an organisation.</p> <p>ECHA sought further improvements and the next step was for ECHA to prepare for registration in 2020, when ECHA’s Executive Director pledged that the agency would become net-carbon neutral by 2030. This supports the ambitions of the EU Green Deal and the role of ECHA in the EU’s Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability to help achieve a toxin-free environment.</p> <p>In short, ECHA’s environmental management system:</p> <ul> <li>includes monitoring and reporting ECHA’s environmental performance and ensures staff engagement and stakeholder involvement on environmental aspects;</li> <li>enables ECHA to increase the sustainability of its operations and minimise the negative impact its activities have on the environment; and</li> <li>is ISO 14001:2015 certified and EMAS registered.</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://echa.europa.eu/environmental-management?utm_campaign=Envi_certification&utm_source=LinkedIn.com&utm_medium=FaceLift.com" class="ecl-link">Read more about ECHA's environmental commitments here</a>.</p></div> </div> <div class="ecl-u-mb-2xl"> <a id="paragraph_962"></a> <h2 class="ecl-u-type-heading-2">European Banking Authority</h2> <div class="ecl"> <div class="ecl-media-container ecl-media-container--custom-ratio ecl-u-mb-s ewcms-embed-medium" data-ecl-media-container="true" data-ecl-auto-init="MediaContainer"><figure class="ecl-media-container__figure"><div class="ecl-media-container__media"><img loading="eager" class="ecl-u-width-100 ecl-u-height-auto ecl-media-container__media--ratio-custom" srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/embed_medium/public/2023-07/EBA-logo-full-colour.jpeg?itok=2Duf-QDK 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/embed_medium_2x/public/2023-07/EBA-logo-full-colour.jpeg?itok=dk7oeRkV 2x" width="340" height="126" src="/sites/default/files/styles/embed_medium/public/2023-07/EBA-logo-full-colour.jpeg?itok=2Duf-QDK" alt="EBA logo"></div></figure></div> <p>The European Banking Authority's EMAS registration is part of its commitment to reduce its environmental impact and carbon footprint.
