Corporate environmental management and environmental strategies

This chapter focuses on environmental management, corporations’ approaches to pollutant emission reduction, and the introduction of incentives for corporations to reduce pollutant emissions. It also discusses the effectiveness of models of these approaches, the burden of expense, and the efficiency of these approaches. In particular, the emphasis is on pollution abatement measures in the production process, with detailed explanations of the features and differences between end-of-pipe type emission reduction measurements and cleaner production type emission reduction measurements. In addition, factor analysis models that use numerical data to calculate the amount of (and changes in) pollutant emissions are introduced.
