In 2003, the TU Dresden decided to introduce an environmental management system according to EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme). By participating in EMAS the TU Dresden shows that it is engaged in environmental protection beyond legal requirements. As an educational institution it considers its task to convey environmental awareness in research and education and to implement it in the daily work process. Consequently, the University has adopted environmental guidelines that reflect the priorities of environment-related policies at the TU Dresden.

EMAS requires participating organizations to be regularly checked by accredited external auditors and to report their engagement in an annual environmental statement (environmental report).

The coordination of the environmental management is task of in the Directorary Property Management, Technology and Security (Dezernat Liegenschaften, Technik und Sicherheit), Unit Central Technical Services (Zentrale Technische Dienste).

An important aim of the environmental management is to motivate students and members of staff regarding environmental topics. For this reason the environmental coordination of TU Dresden has launched the "Mach mit - Umweltmanagement", activities to join in.
