The aim of this paper is to verify whether the voluntary environmental policy tools introduced in the last years in Europe, as EMAS and Ecolabel, have achieved the pre-fixed results both from environmental and economic points of view. This paper presents the findings of different case studies carried out in tourism sector and in the power plant sites for energy production in Italy . During the years, limited review works have been carried out in the EU in order to confirm or to reject the performance and the efficiency of the adoption of EMAS or Eco-label certifications. This research enriches the empirical usefulness of the above-cited environmental tools

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to verify whether the voluntary environmental policy tools introduced in the last years in Europe, as EMAS and Ecolabel, have achieved the pre-fixed results both from environmental and economic points of view. This paper presents the findings of different case studies carried out in tourism sector and in the power plant sites for energy production in Italy . During the years, limited review works have been carried out in the EU in order to confirm or to reject the performance and the efficiency of the adoption of EMAS or Eco-label certifications. This research enriches the empirical usefulness of the above-cited environmental toolsI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
