SMEs needs in Poland
Needs defined on basis of weaknesses of present situation of SMEs:• access to adequate knowledge of the impact on environment of
different company operations
• access to environmental technologies and tools available for reduction of negative impact on environment of production and service processes
• improvement of capability of human resources
• extended cooperation with R&D sector
• access to knowledge of existing external financial resources available for co-financing eco-innovation projects
• awareness of the impact of the EU and Polish environmental regulations on companes activity
• access to adequate knowledge of existing legal requirements„From Regulation to Eco-efficiency”, Transnational Industry Workshop, 11.04.2011 Praga, Czech Republik
SMEs needs in Poland
SMEs needs from the point of view of specific impacts on environment:• consumption of energy• emission of gasses to air• discharge of waste water• produce of waste• consumption of water• emission of noise
A lot of SMEs explore the technologies related:• recycling and waste management (50%)• water and waste-water management (38%)• production of clean energy (18%) • access to adequate knowledge of existing legal requirements

In Poland each 4 years the National Environmental Policy is developed and then regional and local administration must prepare environmental protection programs for regions (voivodeships), counties and communities for 4 years with perspective of next 4.
To achieve sustainable development in regional scale by permanent improvement of quality of environment, quality of life, pollution prevention and conservation of natural
resources the model of Regional Environmental
Management System (REMAS) is developed since 2002 [1,2] and supported newly by specific software tools [3,4].
Introduction to REMAS
„From Regulation to Eco-efficiency”, Transnational Industry Workshop, 11.04.2011 Praga, Czech Republik
74/8/2011
REMAS is oriented on integration the efforts of all significant regional actors, including SMEs, to maintain permanent improvement of regional and local environmental performance by creating and implementing coherent environmental policies, measurable objectives and targets and environmental protection programs in communes, counties and in the whole region taking into account national environmental policy

REMAS proceduresEnvironmental management procedure (PR1) takes advantages of CP (Waste Management Procedure) and satisfy basicISO 14001/EMAS requirements. It is applied for organisation of environmental management system and for preparation of:
• environmental policy
• environmental objectives and targets
• environmental management programs and they implementation.
All targets are defined and implemented according specific schemes like EU Project Cycle Management scheme or/and other investment preparation procedures i.e. revitalisation procedure [3,4].
Risk Management tools are applied for identification of significant environmental aspects, selection of tasks for environmental management programs and for selection innovative, eco-efficient technologies [3,4].

REMAS procedures
Environmental performance evaluation procedure (PR2)adopts ISO 14031 and ISO 14001/ EMAS basic requirements and a set of tools available for:
• monitoring, collecting and assessing data in Internal Data Base• including import of aggregated data from regional Data Base of pollutions
• reviewing the organization impact on environment
• selecting and calculating environmental performance indicators
• identifying significant aspects and priorities
• environmental performance evaluation with comparison to planed improvements

Management of environmental information procedure (PR3)is specific procedure only. In case of regional environmental management It describes collecting and reviewing environmental data and information respectively between the management levels and between main actors of regional management system, including SMEs as actors.
This procedure supports monitoring and predicting pollutions (air, water, waste, noise etc), complying legal requirements by enterprises and other users of environment, collecting funds from fees being paid by pollutants and users of environment that are distributed then by Marshal of the voivodship on accounts of existing in Poland system of environment funds.
PR3 describes how and when to import/export data to/from Internal Data Base and how to find and use external information.
In case of REMAS dedicated for SMEs PR3 describe specific activities related management of internal and external information and data valid for compliance with legal requirements and implementation improvement of environmental performance

The procedure PR1 and PR2 has got unique structure, templates for reporting and the text useful for any organization – only the name of organization, Its logo and the name of a key personnel (director, president, mayor etc.) is updated. Procedure PR3 is specific.
Internal Data Base and set of indicators are exchangeable - the same for communities, counties and the region, but for the enterprises or groups of enterprises are adopted taking into account size and character of the company (big, SMEs), their activity, impact on environment and legal obligations.

SOZAT software
SOZAT is a software created by ATMOTERM S.A. (www.atmoterm.com) that assists and supports REMAS procedures PR2 and PR3 by aggregated data for Internal Data Base imported from regional Data Base of polutions.
The system is user-friendly and can be employed by businesses of all sizes (including SMEs), operating in all areas of industry.
SOZAT simplifies data collection, data analysis, permit applications, environmental fee calculations and reporting procedures

SOZAT is an integrated environmental suite of modules which together contain the most critical types of industrial environmental emissions and impacts such as:
• ECO2 Suite• ISO 14000-SOZAT• Air emission module• Waste module• Water module• Wastewater module
and helps to ensure the community, county or company, including SMEs, remains compliant with all of today’s environmental management standards.
