The European Commission long provided strong political leadership on environmental issues, including fighting global climate change. It leads by example becoming in 2005 the first EU Institution to achieve an EMAS registration reducing the environmental impact of its everyday activities. Initially limited to Brussels, the scheme now includes its eight largest sites in Europe: Brussels, Luxembourg, JRCs Geel (Belgium), Petten (Netherlands), Seville (Spain), Karlsruhe (Germany), and Ispra (Italy), along with DG SANTE at Grange (Ireland). For the coming years, the Commission aims to further extend the scope of its EMAS registration to include executive agencies under Commission facilities management control, as well as Commission Representations in the Member States. Through EMAS the European Commission identifies, minimizes, and mitigates the environmental impacts of its activities, delivering continuous improvement in environmental performance in line with the EU Policies and Regulations. Every year the European Commission publishes its results in an Environmental Statement. This brochure presents some highlights of the latest results.
