EMAS
EMAS APPROVED ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF PRODUCTION SITES
EC Regulation no. 761/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council introduced the EMAS eco-management and audit scheme for organizations. Panariagroup Industrie Ceramiche S.p.A has obtained EMAS Registration for all its production sites: Finale Emilia -MO- (registration N° I-000309 on April 2005), Toano -RE- (registration N° I-000239 on September 2004) and Fiorano Modenese -MO- (registration N°I-000401 on December 2005). This registration is of major importance, since it requires a proper Environmental Management System to be created, based on the continual improvement of environmental performance within organizations.

This registration is of major importance, since it requires a proper Environmental Management System to be created, based on the continual improvement of environmental performance within organizations.
The scheme is based on the creation of an open dialogue with local institutions (Agencies, Authorities, Associations, Trade Union Representatives, Schools, Press) and with the public, and it is expected that all employees will play an active part. The Environmental Statement is the end document that describes the environmental and safety aspects in the workplace, the environmental performance of the site and the environmental targets that the Company sets itself within the framework of continual improvement. The statement is validated by an Accredited Environmental Verifier, following audits carried out in the plant.
Panaria Ceramica is one of the very few ceramics companies to have EMAS registration which, together with the Ecolabel and ISO 14001 quality certification, bear witness to the management’s utmost commitment and readiness to engage with the ethical, environmental, safety and quality issues.
