EMAS – Environmental Management and Audit System

Nuclearelectrica SA is a company responsible not only for the supply of safe and efficient nuclear energy, but also for the protection of the environment. Implementing and maintaining an environmental management system is a priority for us, and participation in EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) underlines our commitment to top environmental performance.

What is EMAS?

EMAS is a voluntary tool developed by the European Commission, which recognizes organizations that have implemented a robust environmental management system and demonstrate environmentally responsible behaviour. This standard provides the framework for evaluating and continuously improving our environmental performance.

Through EMAS, Nuclearelectrica aims to:

• Monitor and reduce environmental impact
• It increases the efficiency of the use of natural resources
• Actively involve employees and the community in green goals
• Be transparent about environmental performance
