Business and the Environment

Any job involving environmental management, product stewardship, or corporate environmental accounting, would find Business and the Environment (BATE) an essential aid. Its news coverage cuts across national boundaries and industry sectors to bring readers the best of what's working and to provide critical benchmark information. BATE also advises readers on the environmental management techniques and strategies worth investing in, and lets readers know what they can safely ignore. BATE also reports unbiased case studies on how corporations are implementing environmental strategies.

Environmental management aims to improve the environmental performance of organizations. Effective environmental management examines the intersection between environmental performance and sound business strategies. Many companies have found that effective environmental management translates into increased profits. For example, identifying ways to reduce the quantity of wastes generated by a manufacturing process means lower waste disposal costs for the company. Reducing waste quantities can also mean that certain environmental regulatory requirements no longer apply to a process, thereby reducing compliance costs. Additionally, companies are finding that being an environmental leader can translate into public relations benefits that can result in increased sales. Environmental management buzzwords include "sustainable development," "life-cycle assessment," "beyond compliance," and "product stewardship."
