Osnabrück Environmental Management Model for Universities

The building blocks and their implementation

		External Environmental Regulations (building block EM 3) up: EM-Model back: building block EM2 next: building block EM4
		When constructing an EMS in accordance with EMAS, a procedure to register and internally publish all legal, administrative and environmental requirements needs to be developed and continued. This procedure is also recommended even if an ecoaudit is not intended. Although the fulfilment of legal requirements ought to be self-evident, examples exist in all universities to show that obligations are not being fulfilled (Meinholz 1997). Examples at Osnabrück show that this can be a result of the university members' lack of knowledge on the subject. In the environmental management project the various different regulations at federal, state and local level were first of all compiled. A procedure as demanded by the EMAS has not yet been submitted.
