To do business successfully, integrated strategies are
needed. Here we can assist companies with our expertise which covers a wide range of specialist areas (55 disciplines) - from natural science and technology to the humanities and the economic, legal and social sciences. With
this expertise, we can develop solutions in an interdisciplinary overall framework.
We are partners in more than 200 national and international networks, bodies and working groups and we advise renowned international organisations. Out network
enables us to identify future trends at an early stage. This
knowledge advantage forms part of our consulting services.
We offer advice to our clients on forward-thinking approaches to meet the challenges of climate change and
mitigation, on how to identify risks and use opportunities. Other key areas of our consulting activities are resource efficiency and zero emissions. We develop strategies and measures, we calculate scenarios and deliver
quality-assured data.
The Umweltbundesamt is a limited liability company
which is 100% owned by the Republic of Austria, represented by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry,
Environment and Water Management.

Our EMAS team is assisted by:
13 Fire Wardens
3 Fire Safety Officers
4 Safety Experts and 1 Hazardous Materials Officer
6 Safety Representatives
42 First-aiders
The main tasks of the EMAS team include the collection
and documentation of environmental data as well as the
preparation of the greenhouse gas balance for the Umweltbundesamt. All data, along with the company’s environmental management objectives as well as the corresponding measures and performance, are published in
an environmental statement every year. Colleagues within the company are informed about the activities of the
EMAS team during employee training sessions and
through EMAS tips on the intranet.
The EMAS team implements the measures outlined in
the environment programme and develops them further
consistently. An EMAS suggestion scheme encourages em­
ployees to contribute their ideas for improving the company’s environmental performance. New measures are included, after consultation with the Managing Directors, in the
environmental management systems and put into practice.
The legal register, which ensures the management system’s conformity with legal requirements, and a standardised filing system for official notices are updated and
maintained on an ongoing basis.
Environmental impacts and the environmental management system are reviewed as part of the internal audits
every year. The management system is evaluated by the
Managing Directors once a year.

BENEFITS
FLEXIBILITY
Our employees use teleworking and remote working. Flexible working models and part-time work schemes for parents make it easier for parents to go back to work after
parental leave. Employee satisfaction, along with the fact
that a large number of our employees use part-time work
schemes for parents show how successful these offers
are. In 2014, 11 male and 41 female employees were using the part-time work scheme for parents.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES
Since 2009, an Equal Opportunities Officer and a Deputy
Officer have been acting as a first contact point for the
prevention of workplace bullying, disputes and discrimination. A workplace representative for disabled employees ensures that barriers are removed and necessary general adjustments are made.
Employed persons
„Environmental policy implementation
only works if it is part of our employees’
daily routine.
This is why new colleagues are informed about
EMAS as soon as they start working with us.
On our intranet they can find detailed
information and useful tips.“

A HEALTHY WORK ENVIRONMENT
Our Occupational Health Physician performs vaccinations,
eye tests, no smoking initiatives and health checks which
are all free of charge. She offers advice on ergonomics
(personal workplace check), diet and physical activity and,
if required, helps with stress prevention, the prevention
of occupational diseases and work-related illnesses. Our
employees’ physical well-being is also taken care of on a
daily basis in a nearby canteen which was awarded the
Austrian Ecolabel in 2012. After work our employees are
offered Feldenkrais or Shiatsu sessions at reduced rates.
Joint activities such as participation in the Umweltbundes­
amt’s running challenge or “cycle to work” initiative have
proved to be immensely popular.

FIRE PROTECTION AND PREVENTION
The safety precautions which are to be observed when
handling gas cylinders and for their storage are reviewed
on a regular basis. Specialty gases, acids and solvents are
needed for certain analyses. They are stored on site in the
smallest possible quantities. Escape routes and orientation plans, up-to-date fire control plans and well documented fire safety inspections minimise potential hazards as well as negative environmental impacts. Once a

reduces paper usage and toner consumption. At events
and meetings which take place at our premises we offer
our guests only organic snacks and drinks.
The milestones of the past ten years were: switching to
certified green electricity, establishing a car sharing
scheme and purchasing a natural gas vehicle for business
travel. Our employees were offered a fuel savings and
driver safety training programme. For business trips less
than 750 kilometres in length a rule has been established
- namely that preference should be given to the train.
For EMAS applicants the Umweltbundesamt which, as a
long-standing registered EMAS organisation, has been
entrusted with the management of the EMAS register
acts as single contact point. After a positive assessment
of the environmental statement by the environmental
auditor who applies his/her signature, applicants apply
to the Umweltbundesamt (as the National Competent
Body for Registration) for EMAS registration.

CALCULATION OF THE RELEVANCE FACTOR
The EMAS team assesses the relevance of environmental aspects on a scale of 0-9 (9 denoting a high relevance).
For this purpose two factors are multiplied: the impact
of a particular environmental aspect (0-3 points, i.e. from
“not relevant” to “high”) and the possibility of influencing this aspect through appropriate measures. In cases of
incidents or emergencies, the probability of occurrence
Significance of
environmental
aspect (in points)
is assessed instead of the possibility of influence. Measures which have been implemented successfully have a
positive influence, reducing the level of relevance of the
environmental aspects. The result shows where there is
a need, or scope, for action, so that specific measures can
be taken to improve the Umweltbundesamt’s environmental performance.

ENERGY
For our space heating requirements we use district heat
or natural gas in all our buildings. For our premises in Spittelauer Lände 5 and Ingen Housz-Gasse 3 we use an energy contracting model. The use of green certified electricity (UZ 46*) has a positive effect on the greenhouse gas
balance.
WATER
Freshwater consumption depends mainly on the amount
of water needed in the laboratories and on the type of analysis. The pH value of wastewater is adjusted using a neutra­
lisation device before the wastewater enters the urban sewage system. Wastewater from the garage passes through an
oil separator and is disposed of by an authorised collector.
MATERIAL INPUT & WASTE SEPARATION
Paper demand is measured using a follow-me print system. The aim is to achieve considerable reductions in the
future. Waste is disposed of correctly and handed over to
authorised waste collectors.
GREENHOUSE GAS BALANCE
In the annual greenhouse gas balance the conversion of
energy sources is considered as well as their production,
ex­traction and transport. For business travels the Umweltbundesamt uses a car sharing scheme and has a small
fleet with two passenger cars, five light commercial vehicles and one natural gas vehicle. For business trips within Vienna two electric bikes and two folding bikes have
been acquired.

Emissions (CO2 equivalent) in t
To calculate aviation emissions, the Environment Agency
Austria uses an RFI of 2.7. RFI stands for radiactive forcing
index. It is the measurement unit for climate relevant impacts of aviation at higher altitudes (from approx. 9 km
a.s.l.) arising from physical and chemical interactions with
the atmosphere.
