Abstract
Traditional corporate environmental management acknowledges that activities (resource inputs, sites, processes, products and services) have impacts on the environment. Environmental management tools, such as life-cycle analysis or environmental audits, provide managers with information about these impacts in a systematic fashion. These tools and techniques are incorporated into management systems such as ISO 14 001. Management systems provide the architecture through which a company’s environmental policies and programs are delivered. These management tools and systems provide a basis for improving a company’s environmental performance.
