Environmental management & labelling

Circular Economy

Our response to environmental problems requires a cross-sectoral and integrated approach to environmental protection. Such integrated approach is key to seeing the broader picture, and avoid false solutions simply shifting the environmental burden from one aspect to another. Our goal is to improve the tools to measure the environmental footprint of organisations and products in order to push economic operators worldwide to know their impact, and perform better. We also strive to ensure the exchange of accurate, transparent and robust environmental information between businesses and consumers.

What we are working on

Contribute to the development of the ISO 14000-series, ensuring consistent, transparent and reliable environmental management systems;
Help develop robust environmental performance evaluation such as Life Cycle Methods, taking all possible environmental aspects into account;
Ensure that the right requirements, metrics and performance indicators are used to demonstrate the “circularity” of an organisation or project;
Ensure coherence with other relevant standards and initiatives, facilitate alignment between CEN/TC “Circular Economy” and CEN/TC “Environmental Management”;
Contribute to the development of standards that provide clear guidance on business to business and business to consumer environmental information.
