Eco-management and Eco-auditing

The surge of interest in the environment and the wave of environmental legislation that have occurred over the last few years looks certain to continue. Consumer expectation, continuing pressure from environmental groups and the growing tendency of banks and insurance companies to expect their clients to be environmentally responsible have heralded the need for more companies to carry out systematic environmental reviews. Written by practising lawyers from one of the leading environmental law firms, this book is a comprehensive guide to the phenomenon of Eco-Auditing. It discusses the nature of Eco-Audits, their role in environmental policy, and how to set about organizing an audit. It is published in line with the introduction of new EC regulations in the spring of 1993.
