Since its inception, the EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) has sought to be a tool to help companies reduce their environmental impact and gain acceptance in their area by being transparent about their environmental performance and maintaining an open dialogue with stakeholders.

• But how can you involve staff in environmental management?
• How are the EMAS tools helping to involve staff and top management in reducing environmental impacts and enhancing resource efficiency?
• What good practices has EMAS identified for involving employees and stakeholders in its 30 years of experience?
• Do people recognise the importance of their day-to-day behaviour in achieving environmental improvements at work and at home?

To answer these questions and have an interesting discussion with the audience, EMAS and ECESP organised a webinar on 26 October 2023, to learn more about EMAS and the importance of involving staff, top management and stakeholders in the circular transition.

Over 100 participants joined the Circular Economy on the City Level webinar of the Collaborating Centre on Sustainable Consumption and Production (CSCP) which sparked interesting discussions about smart and efficient ways of leveraging the potential of cities and municipal utilities in the transition towards more circularity.
