A Environmental Management System, at the moment two voluntary standards exist, allow the company to obtain the certification or the registration. Those are the international standards ISO 14001 and the European Regulation EMAS.

Internal audits of the management systems

The application of a management system, either quality or environmental requires the realization of internal audits to know the points to improve previous to the visit of the certification entity.

EcoLAN could help in this process showing the points to improve and trying to correct them for the certification. To minimize the initial costs of application, ecoLAN could help to negotiate grants to this effect.
