How can my company/organization profit from EMA?
Your company or organization can profit from EMA in many different ways. By identifying and reducing environmental costs, EMA can help to increase your profit margins and your market share. At the same time it helps you to optimize your organization's environmental performance and improves decision-making and stakeholder relations:
EMA saves your money!
The impact of environmental issues on production costs is often underestimated. They are like an iceberg. Only small parts of the costs are visible while the main parts remain undiscovered (see figure). EMA helps to identify and analyze these hidden costs. For example, minimizing the amount of waste not only reduces incineration and waste disposal costs but also total purchasing costs of materials (as fewer materials are needed if there is less waste), operating costs (fewer materials need to be processed), labor and administration costs of handling materials and waste, etc.
EMA supports your decision-making! Profitable decisions are based on access to adequate information. EMA provides decision-makers with crucial information about costs induced by environmental issues. EMA discloses specific product and process costs which are previously hidden in general overheads.
EMA improves your economic and environmental performance!
There are hundreds of possibilities for improving your organization's corporate environmental performance, such as investments in cleaner technology, waste minimization campaigns, introduction of air pollution control systems, process-integrated recycling and so forth. But which measures are profitable? By identifying the measures that increase shareholder value and the profitability of your business and lower the environmental harm of processes and products, EMA creates real win-win situations. Your organization will perform better both, in environmental and financial terms.
EMA satisfies your stakeholders!
Establishing EMA in your organization demonstrates that you simultaneously care about your corporate environmental and financial performance. In doing so you convince investors, private and business customers, neighbors and local and national authorities that your company is managed well, complies with regulations and enhances shareholder value. Thus you create opportunities to receive profitable orders, minimize the risk of legal disputes and improve general relationships with your stakeholders.
EMA is suitable for your company!
EMA provides a complete range of tools and methods that help your company to save money and improve its decision-making. There are both, easy-to-handle tools for small and medium-sized companies and sophisticated tools for large organizations. EMA supports one off decisions, e.g. a new investment, as well as ongoing managerial functions such as cost accounting. It is applicable to all kinds of industry and business sectors.
EMA pays off for your company and the environment!
