Management standards: EMAS and ISO 14001 - 2004 - Environment Information Bulletin (140) July 2004, 10-16(7) .

Series of articles comparing the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) from the EU with the more recognised ISO 14001: 1996. The first article "EMAS versus ISO 14001: no contest?" investigates why there are so few EMAS-registered organisations despite EMAS being viewed as superior to ISO 14001. The second article, "Smiths Group sets a new performance standard" examines how a decentralised engineering group has used ISO 14001 to concentrate on environmental outcomes. The third article, "Lewes Council gives EMAS ringing endorsement", examines Lewes DC's experience of EMAS.
