Amazon.com description: Product Description: More companies have considered systematic environmental reviews due to consumer expectation, continuing pressure from environmental groups and the growing tendency of banks and insurance companies to expect their clients to be environmentally responsible. This book is a timely introduction to the growing phenomenon of Eco-auditing. Divided into ten chapters, the first five consider various management systems and standards nationally and internationally. Later chapters look specifically at legal issues including the development of land, health and safety management, corporate policy, market forces, insurance and information technology.
