EU Eco-Management
Environmental management system according to EMAS (EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme)
Since the year 2000, Leuphana University has been able to look back on a successfully implemented environmental management system according to the eurpean EMAS and has continuously improved its environmental performance since then. It was one of the first universities in Europe to implement EMAS and thus voluntarily does more to protect the environment than is required by law. It is audited annually by a state-approved environmental verifier and publishes its operational environmental protection in an environmental statement.
The activities of university members have an adverse effect on the environment in the form of emissions, waste and resource consumption. All these environmental aspects were recorded and evaluated. If an environmental aspect has a significant environmental impact, it is essential and must be integrated into the environmental management system. The essential environmental impacts were again determined and evaluated. The environmental aspect of transport, especially the choice of transport for employees and students on their way to university, is currently the environmental aspect with the greatest need for action. The environmental aspects of waste, nature conservation, heat and procurement are of average importance.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS
The activities of university members lead to environmental impacts in the form of emissions, waste and resource consumption. All these environmental aspects are recorded and evaluated. If an environmental aspect leads to a significant environmental impact, then this aspect is material and must be included in the environmental management system. The significant environmental impacts are determined and evaluated. The core activities of the university - research, teaching and cooperation - are particularly important and highly relevant to action.
The environmental aspect of transport, in particular the choice of transport by employees and students on their way to the university, is currently the environmental aspect with the highest need for action. The environmental aspects of waste, nature conservation, heat and procurement are of average importance. Further information on the environmental aspects, data and improvements can be found in the following environmental statements.
Leuphana University of Lüneburg publishes an annual environmental statement ("Umweltinformationen") in which environmentally relevant activities and data on the environment, such as resource and energy consumption, emissions, waste, etc. are presented in detail.
