EMAS
Audited environmental management
RAPA has been validated in accordance with the EMAS regulation since 2016. The EU eco-audit is a "voluntary commitment" to environmental protection and sustainability within the company. The validation is based on a comprehensive environmental statement. We have been certified in accordance with the internationally applicable ISO14001 standard, which is part of our integrated management system, since 2007. Conformity with ISO 14001 is also checked in the annual EMAS audits.
Taking responsibility
EMAS certification includes an environmental statement audited by an environmental auditor. In it, we present all environmentally relevant activities, publish environmental performance, environmental targets and data on emissions and energy consumption, for example. The auditor visited the site, inspected production and interviewed employees. The validation confirms that RAPA complies with all environmental regulations and meets the high requirements of the EMAS regulation.
As a crucial part of our communication, the detailed environmental statement that we publish annually covers the information requirements of our interested parties. We make the environmental statements available for you to download. If you would prefer a printed version, please contact us at info(at)rapa.com.
Why did we choose EMAS?
EMAS is the world's most demanding system for sustainable environmental management. The requirements go beyond a mere management system. It implies a continuous improvement of environmental performance. Our environmental management is lived and strengthens the identification of each individual with RAPA's environmental protection interests.
