Proof of this lies in the still very high number of ISO 14001 emissions in the European Union compared to the number of EMAS registrations. The risk-based approach, which was intended to bring the two systems closer together and compensate for the remaining inequalities between them, does not seem to have had the desired effect, nor to have convinced company directors to switch to EMAS....
