Overview
This innovative book provides practical, cost-effective solutions to on-the-job environmental compliance problems. Departing from the legal or policy slant favored by most books on environmental management. Environmental ROI cuts through the maze of present-day compliance regulations and finds ways to lower compliance-related costs and increase returns on these expenditures. Twenty-four contributing environmental experts draw on their own diverse experiences in industry, consulting and the law to cover the full range of environmental-compliance issues - from effective contracting and negotiating, to waste minimization and prevention. They demonstrate clearly how companies can increase productivity, cut costs, and protect the environment all at the same time.Editorials

Offers three fronts on which companies can improve productivity and cut costs at the same time they are meeting environmental standards. The management approach suggests improvements in such practices as cost estimating, project management, negotiating and contracting, and dealing with regulators and the public. The operational section deals with such matters as maintenance, waste minimization, avoiding fines, remediation, and auditing facilities. The final focus is on cost-effective compliance in the areas of health and safety, air, solid waste, and hazardous waste. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
