EMAS Certification
Since 2005, the Mataró Port Consortium has held EMAS certification from the Catalan government. The EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) system promotes continued improvement in organisations’ environmental policies, through various tools.

This certification is another sign of the Mataró Port Consortium’s commitment to protecting the environment.
