Dear Mr Antragsteller/in, You recently contacted the REA services regarding our Agency’s carbon footprint. The information that concerns the carbon footprint of the REA and the methodology used to measure it, is to be considered an integral part of the information already provided to you by the EC services in their e-mail Ares(2019)3253518 - CO2-Bilanzen (carbon footprint) der letzten zehn Kalenderjahre [#134726] of 17/05/2019 (attached) even though the REA Executive Agency has not yet formally adopted a policy as provided by Regulation (EC) No 1221/2009 of 25 November 2009 on the voluntary participation by organisations in a Community eco-management and audit scheme (EMAS) The REA occupies the Covent Garden building in Brussels, which is managed and maintained by the European Commission’s (EC) responsible service, the Office of Infrastructure and Building (OIB), subject to a Service Level Agreement (SLA) signed in 2009. This SLA contains an environmental clause (Art.12) which stipulates that “[t]he goods or the services provided by OIB respect the existing environmental norms. The OIB ensures that any third parties acting on its behalf do the same.” While not explicitly mentioning EMAS, this is to guarantee that the building the REA occupies is managed according to the EMAS policy, which has been adopted by the EC and its OIB service and is de facto the existing environmental norm. In addition, the REA takes part in all the EC initiatives and practices in terms of decreasing the carbon footprint related to travel (creation of video conference rooms, encouraging biking to work and use of public transport). We hope that you will find this information useful.
