Description
Current working patterns, particularly in more established economies, create severe strains on the natural environment. However, each of us can do something about the way our organization functions, which when combined, will add up to significant change. This book helps you improve and sustain environmental performance of the parts of the organization in which you function, and at the same time extend your sphere of influence. Issues tackled include: green consumers; pollution; insurance; government policy; energy resources and sustainability. Covering the tools and techniques need to first map current environmental performance and then develop action plans on a continuing basis, the author emphasizes the advantages both for the organization and the environment.
