This book is designed to meet the urgent need for a comprehensive
and definitive introduction and teaching text on corporate
environmental management. It will become the standard textbook for
courses examining how business can take the environment into
account while also providing an accessible and thorough overview of
this increasingly multidisciplinary subject for practitioners.
Written by the internationally acknowledged experts Stefan
Schaltegger and Roger Burritt (authors of the highly influential
"Contemporary Environmental Accounting") along with Holger
Petersen, the book invites the reader to join in an exploration of
the ways in which companies can engage in environmental management
and why such engagement can be profitable for business. The reader
is invited to: examine whether the contents reflect their own
experience, takes their experience further, or opposes their own
views; note which of the ideas presented are especially important,
add to those ideas, or encourage a reaction (positive or negative);
answer questions creatively (based on their own perspective of the
issues); encourage themselves to be inspired by questions, which
can be investigated further through other written sources of
information, such as books you will be guided to through the
bibliography, the Internet or the general media; and think about
and plan the ways in which the knowledge provided can be
implemented in your own situation. The book is organized into four
main sections. First, the fundamental ideas and linkages behind
business management, the environment and sustainable development
are briefly but clearly sketched. The second part of the book
outlines the criteria against which environmentally-oriented
business management can be assessed and the fields of action in
which success can be achieved. The third part presents a discussion
and examples of strategies for environmental management, which are
linked, in the fourth part, to the essential tools of environmental
management, especially green marketing, environmental accounting
and eco-control. The book is full of case studies and examples
related to the main contents of each chapter and each chapter
provides a number of questions for the student or reader to
address. "An Introduction to Corporate Environmental Management" is
both a textbook and a sourcebook. The reader can either work
through the material in a structured way or dip into the content
and follow up on specific areas of interest. The materials are
designed to be used for understanding and reference, rather than to
be learned by heart. The primary aim is for the reader to obtain a
practical understanding of the relationship between management and
environmental issues which can be applied in day-to-day situations
whether as part of a student's wider view of management or within
the practitioner's real-world situation. It will be essential
reading for many years to come."
