Environmental statement 2022

On 25 January 2016, the General Secretariat of the Council of the European Union (GSC) obtained EMAS registration1, validating the quality of the environmental management system in place since 2010.

This statement contains an update on the GSC’s environmental performance up to 2021. The continued implementation of an effective environmental management system has enabled the GSC to go even further in reducing its energy consumption and to maintain the downward trend in the amount of paper used annually per person. These positive results lend credibility to the environmental initiatives which have been in place at the GSC for a number of years, and which were validated by the EMAS registration. The environmental management system enables the GSC not only to measure and monitor the impact of its activities so as to better control it, but also to continuously improve its performance.
