Wallonia hosted EMAS Day on October 7, 2026, a key event for organizations participating in the European Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS). The day provided a valuable exchange platform for attendees from administrations, public, and private organizations to share experiences and concrete tools for improving their environmental performance.
The EMAS system, it should be noted, helps organizations reduce their ecological impact, continuously improve their results, and communicate transparently. It is based on an independent audit and strict European requirements. In Wallonia, this approach is sometimes even mandated by sectoral conditions for obtaining permits.
The 2026 edition of EMAS Day was specifically dedicated to the management of chemical substances. The program included presentations on PFAS, updates to the Industrial Emissions Directive, and the priorities of the European EMAS Help Desk.
The materials presented during the event are now available to facilitate ongoing discussions and inform interested parties about environmental management and the opportunities offered by EMAS.
