scope:

This text combines the best aspects of Pollution Prevention (P2), Total Quality Management (TQM), and ISO 14000 into a comprehensive "how-to" handbook for achieving environmental compliance. It is a step-by-step guide to the implementation and integration of environmental compliance into day-to-day management practices - not just telling the reader "what" to do, but also "how" to do it. In addition to pollution prevention questions and answers that readers can apply to their businesses, this book lists specific implementation steps linking corporate strategic planning with environmental management and compliance. An example EMS manual and Policy Statements for immediate implementation of ISO 14000 standards are provided, along with more than 50 examples of goals and objectives for business systems. A self-assessment checklist and more than 100 references for further networking are also included
