LEADING ESG TEAMS TRUST CONSUST

Challenges

What Holds Companies Back in Their Daily EMAS Work

Complex Data Consolidation

Key figures from various locations and systems must be manually consolidated and regularly reconciled.

Separate Management Systems

ISO 14001 and additional EMAS requirements are often maintained in parallel and documented twice.

Lack of Traceability

Without a consistent history of key performance indicators, it is difficult to track progress and provide reliable evidence of it.

Time-Consuming Validation Preparation

Data, supporting documentation, and processes must be painstakingly compiled and verified for the environmental verifier.

Benefits

What You Can Achieve with CONSUST

Direct Link to ISO 14001

Environmental aspects, legal records, and management processes are maintained once and used for both ISO 14001 and EMAS.

Less effort required for the environmental report

FramesCube generates the environmental statement in a structured manner using key metrics and measures that have already been recorded, rather than compiling it manually.

Improvement is visible and verifiable

Key indicators are documented, compared, and evaluated over several reporting cycles. This ensures that the required evidence of improvements in environmental performance is available at all times.

A Solid Foundation for Validation

The audit trail and version history provide the environmental verifier with a complete record of how data was generated and who approved it.

Process

5 Steps to a Validated Environmental Statement

From identifying environmental aspects to producing a validated environmental statement, FramesCube guides you through a clearly structured process. Each step builds on the previous one and reduces the effort required for the next EMAS reporting period.

Set Up Data Structure and Environmental Aspects

Direct and indirect environmental aspects are assessed for each site and mapped within your organizational structure. Each data point is assigned a source, unit, responsible party, and approval workflow.

Collect EMAS Data Centrally and with AI Support

Data on energy, materials, water, waste, emissions, and land use are entered by site managers. The AI-powered data collection system automatically imports supporting documentation.

Consolidate Data and Identify Key Metrics

Values are aggregated across locations and time periods, and environmental metrics are linked to reference values for key indicators. The methodology remains consistent over the years.

Setting Goals and Managing Actions in a Structured Way

You can derive measurable environmental goals—including a base year and a designated person responsible—directly from the consolidated data. Actions are defined with a deadline, budget, and expected impact.

Prepare an Environmental Statement and Have It Validated

The environmental statement is based on a database that includes information on the organization, environmental aspects, goals, program, and key indicators compared over multiple years. The environmental verifier accesses supporting documents directly.

Solution

Why Environmental Managers Choose CONSUST

FramesCube integrates the requirements of ISO 14001 and EMAS into a single database. Instead of maintaining two systems in parallel, the environmental statement is generated directly from the data you collect for your environmental management anyway.

One system instead of two

FramesCube integrates ISO 14001 and EMAS into a single database. Environmental aspects, key performance indicators, and measures are entered once and used to meet both sets of requirements.

Improvement becomes a metric, not a claim

Key indicators are stored and compared across reporting cycles. This makes it possible to concretely demonstrate—rather than merely describe—the continuous improvement in environmental performance required by EMAS.

Always Up to Date with Regulatory Requirements

EMAS requirements and indicator sets are maintained and updated in FramesCube. You work with the currently valid structure without having to track regulatory updates yourself.

Preparing for Validation Without Time Pressure

Because data and supporting documentation are generated throughout the system, the time required to prepare for the environmental verifier’s audit is significantly reduced.

FAQ

Your Questions About EMAS. Our Answers.

The most common questions from ESG managers regarding EMAS implementation with FramesCube.

Was unterscheidet EMAS von ISO 14001?

EMAS ist eine EU-Verordnung und baut auf ISO 14001 auf. Zusätzlich verlangt EMAS eine geprüfte, öffentliche Umwelterklärung, den Nachweis kontinuierlicher Verbesserung der Umweltleistung sowie die Registrierung bei einer zuständigen Behörde.

Ist EMAS in Deutschland verpflichtend?

Nein, EMAS ist freiwillig. Unternehmen entscheiden sich häufig für EMAS, um Wettbewerbsvorteile zu nutzen, Kundenanforderungen zu erfüllen oder die eigene Umweltleistung glaubwürdig nach außen zu belegen.

Wie oft muss die Umwelterklärung aktualisiert werden?

Die vollständige Umwelterklärung wird alle drei Jahre durch einen Umweltgutachter validiert, aktualisierte Kernindikatoren werden in der Regel jährlich veröffentlicht.

Kann FramesCube die Umwelterklärung direkt erstellen?

Ja. FramesCube nutzt die im System erfassten Umweltaspekte, Kernindikatoren und Maßnahmen und generiert daraus die Umwelterklärung in der von EMAS geforderten Struktur.

Lässt sich ein bestehendes ISO 14001 System in FramesCube weiterverwenden?

Ja. Umweltaspekte, Rechtskataster und Managementprozesse aus ISO 14001 bilden die Grundlage und werden um die zusätzlichen EMAS-Anforderungen ergänzt, statt parallel neu aufgebaut zu werden.

Was sind die EMAS-Kernindikatoren?

Energieeffizienz, Materialeffizienz, Wasser, Abfall, biologische Vielfalt und Emissionen. FramesCube bildet alle sechs Kernindikatoren standardmäßig ab.
