adelphi hosts once again the EMAS Advisory Board office

For the third time, adelphi is responsible for providing the office of the German EMAS Advisory Board. The office serves as a point of contact for members of the EMAS Advisory Board, environmental auditors, verifiers, authorised experts, EMAS organisations and those interested in the system.

Founded in 1995, the EMAS Advisory Board (UGA) is an independent body established by law that advises the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) on issues concerning the European environmental management system EMAS, and on interpreting and applying the German EMAS Act (Umweltauditgesetz). In addition, the Board also provides recommendations for appointing accredited experts, as well as members of the audit committees of the EMAS registration office. In cooperation with the Board, the office takes care of public relations and providing information on EMAS.

In this next phase of the project, new office premises have been acquired. The EMAS Advisory Board therefore has a new address:

Bernburger Str. 30/31 D-10963 Berlin

Tel: +49 (0)30-297732-30 (as previously)

Fax: +49 (0)30-297732-39 (as previously)

Email: info@uga.de (as previously)

The Board comprises environmental experts from various civil groups who are appointed for a period of three years. Representatives of businesses, environmental associations, labour unions, environmental auditor organisations, as well as federal and regional government have all committed themselves to supporting EMAS in a variety of ways and on a voluntary basis
