Managing the sustainable development of a company in modern conditions is a highly relevant field of scientific research and is of particular importance for representatives of the business environment. This study focuses on the environmental management and audit system (EMAS) in the business environment. It states that the EMAS is one of the most effective tools for improving the environmental efficiency of enterprises and state control in environmental protection. The primary issue with the article is the coverage of the concept of the environmental management system. The authors considered its essence, performed a review of scientific work on an effective business management system and considered the Shewhart and Deming Cycle (PDCA). The importance of the environmental management system (EMS) is underlined as an important and universal tool for increasing competitiveness, both at the company and state levels. Particular attention is given to the analysis of the international standards of the ISO 14000 series and the European Environmental Management and Audit Scheme. The basic differences between the ISO 14000 series standards and the EMAS scheme have been established. The main gaps and benefits of implementing the environmental management and certification system in businesses in Ukraine have been revealed. Any project that claims to be successfully initiated and implemented needs to be reviewed and analyzed. Environmental auditing is an essential benefit of investing in Ukraine, allowing to expect and prevent potential risks. Considering that the EMAS is a part of the legislation in force in the EU, and Ukraine is a candidate for the EU membership from June 23, 2022, the article proposes measures to establish the effective environmental management and audit system.
