EnergyBonnEMAS environmental management at GIZ German sitesPublish measurable environmental performance every year At its Bonn and Eschborn campuses, GIZ runs the EU Eco Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS), one of the strictest environmental management systems available. Annual Umwelterklärung (environmental statements) disclose energy, water, waste, and improvement measures; GIZ won the 2023 German–Austrian Environmental Management Award for its statement. What you can do - Universities, hospitals, or federal agencies: compare your campus to EMAS requirements and publish a one-page environmental statement for staff and neighbours - Facility managers: map measuring points for energy and water: GIZ targets 20% energy reduction in Germany by 2025 - Visitors to Bonn: ask your employer whether EMAS or ISO 14001 certification is on the roadmap How it works EMAS goes beyond ISO 14001 with mandatory public reporting and third-party verification. GIZ pairs EMAS in Germany with CSH handprint tools abroad. Why it matters Transparent annual accounts turn sustainability from a poster into a measurable habit.
