EMAS in Numbers

How many organisations and locations are registered under EMAS in Germany and Europe? Which sectors are particularly committed to environmental management? And how has the number of EMAS participants developed over the years?

Current statistics and developments relating to the EMAS environmental management system can be found on the following pages:

  • The website of the German Umweltgutachterausschuss offers comprehensive statistics and time series on EMAS in Germany, including distribution by federal state and sector: www.emas.de/statistiken
  • On the European Commission's Green Forum you will find graphical data on EMAS in Europe, including the number of registrations in the individual member states: green-forum.ec.europa.eu – EMAS statistics and graphs

This data provides a good insight into the prevalence and significance of EMAS as a voluntary environmental management instrument - both nationally and at European level.
