In its last updates, it promotes the best environmental management practices through the development of the Sectoral Reference Documents (SRDs) that have to be taken into consideration by the EMAS-registered organizations in assessing their environmental performance. Many organizations and companies have a wide margin to improve their environmental performance. With the aim to improve their eco-efficiency and thus its reputation and the sustainability of their business, many companies want to lower their impact on the environment. To help organizations achieve this goal, the CCR identifies, evaluates, and documents best environmental management practices (BEMPs) for the different sectors, in collaboration with stakeholders. The results of this work are the Sectoral Reference Documents (SRDs) on best practices in environmental management. This activity is part of the European Commission's work to implement the system of EU Eco-management and Audit Scheme (EMAS), a voluntary fi'amework for enterprises and other organizations to evaluate, report, and improve their environmental performance. In this context, the EU decided in 2009 to promote best environmental management practices through the development of the Sectoral Reference Documents (SRDs).展开更多
