This statement contains an update on the GSC’s environmental performance up to 2020. The continued implementation of an efective environmental management system has enabled the GSC to go even further in reducing its energy consumption and to maintain the downward trend in the amount of paper used annually per person. These positive results lend credibility to the environmental initiatives which have been in place at the GSC for a number of years, and which were validated by the EMAS registration. The environmental management system enables the GSC not only to measure and monitor the impact of its activities so as to better control it, but also to continuously improve its performance. One of the main aims of environmental management is to raise awareness among staf of how to integrate sustainable development principles into their day-to-day work. The GSC thus leads by example in its application of the environmental policies adopted by the Council of the European Union.
