ISO 14001: Design and implementation of an environmental management system in a public administration

Abstract

Following the Master in Integrated Environmental Management, held at the European School for Advanced Studies of IUSS (University Institute of Advanced Studies), University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy, I worked as a trainee at the consulting company Eco Auditing Ltd. Genoa, Italy. Eco Auditing is an Italian leading environmental consultancy to public and private institutions and it is specialised in environmental certifications, with expert consultants to assist in the design and implementation of environmental management systems applied to public bodies. Specifically, I was interested in the environmental certification of the municipality of Maratea, in the province of Potenza, in compliance with UNI EN ISO 14001.
