Businesses are quickly realising that they cannot afford to stand still when it comes to their environmental responsibilities. Legislation, financial constraints, and the realisation that environmental improvement is a moral imperative from a global and local community perspective are key drivers in the trend towards increased environmental management in business and industry.
