Published in association with the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), this handbook presents a comprehensive guide to all aspects of environmental management for businesses.

Environmental issues are no longer the concern only of heavy industry, and solutions to the problems are no longer just 'end of pipe' ones. As many businesses now appreciate, the issues impinge on all sectors, in multiple ways, and environmental management is part of a broader agenda concerning the place of businesses in society, affecting strategy and organization at all levels.

The volume is designed to provide businesses of all sizes with state-of-the-art information on the latest techniques, trends and developments in environmental management. It takes a user's perspective, capturing key viewpoints and drawing together current best practice through the inclusion of detailed case studies. These display the practical implications of the topics under discussion and are set out to enable users to relate the information to their own experience.

With contributions from experts in the relevant fields, it will provide an invaluable reference and benchmark to guide businesses of all kinds and scales.
