Environmental Management Systems in transition
An event for environmental verifiers, certifiers and users
The environmental verifier day will be hosted by the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) in Bonn. This is the competence centre for the further development of initial and continuing vocational education and training. Its tasks include future tasks and the promotion of innovations in vocational education and training. BIBB also develops practical solutions for the vocational education and training landscape.
BIBB introduced and validated the EMAS environmental management system in 2009. The award of the "Büro & Umwelt 2018" competition, which B.A.U.M. e.V. presented to BIBB on 29 January 2019, is a special tribute.
Our offer consists of experience reports and new information. In two discussion rounds and the breaks, we will give you the opportunity to ask questions and exchange ideas. The programme will be further concretized on an ongoing basis.
