Environmental Certification for Organisations and Products

Environmental certification is an effective tool to manage the environmental impact made by companies, to leverage their competitive capabilities and to ensure their compliance with environmental principles in the case of production processes located in developing countries. This book provides an up-to-date overview of the different environmental certification tools and their respective roles and added value in a corporate management perspective. Balancing a complete theoretical presentation of the issue with an operational perspective, the book supports the adoption and implementation of environmental certification tools and should be an invaluable resource for professionals as well as students and scholars of environmental management, sustainable business and corporate social responsibility.
