EPICENTRE Life Project
Ecomapping, a training & baseline assement tool to implement step by step ISO 14001 and EMAS in 250 companies in Europe.
The EPICENTRE Life project was build on the UK Acorn model that aims to facilitate a step-by step uptake of EMAS and ISO 14001 in SME’s. This by experimenting a 6 level certified approach in 250 SME’s in 5 EU countries.
The Acorn model involves multinationals that act as mentors to drag their own suppliers in the process and improve the relationships in the supply chain. As a baseline assessment and training tool, Ecomapping allows local trainers to assist SME’s in achieving the requirements of the first Acorn level and gain recognition. The experiment resulted in the new British standard BS 8555.
