Business, Pollution and Regulation

As regulation on conservation and pollution control spreads throughout the industrial and developing world, companies of all sizes are becoming increasingly conscious of the need to be environmentally aware. Many are realizing that they need to include environmental concerns in major business decisions both to keep ahead of legislation and to anticipate new demands from consumers. This new guide provides a complete overview of the key environmental issues facing businesses in the UK and Europe -- now and in the near future.

Divided into two parts, section one covers business and the environment, an introduction to environmental issues (including policy), pollution control (regulation and legislation in the UK and overseas), and tools for environmental management. The second section consists of detailed appendices providing a wealth of useful reference material on acts and regulations, international conventions, national and local implementation, classification of industrial installations, industrial chemicals and listed substances, sources of assistance to companies, contact addresses, and references for further reading.
