摘要:

AbstractThe field of environmental management has evolved from its beginnings as a regulation‐based, compliance‐driven, “command and control” regime into a continuous improvement, voluntary, environmental stewardship process aspiring to protection levels beyond those required by regulations. This change in environmental management philosophies prevalent at many regulated corporations, both in the United States and abroad, has provided a fertile ground for the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in developing environmental management standards that address these corporate aspirations. This task has moved closer to fruition within the ISO through its Technical Committee (TC) 207 on Environmental Management. This article provides background on the environmental management system standards, ISO/TC 207's committees' organization, and influencing factors helping to shape these standards. Equally important, this article focuses on what the standards will mean to the regulated industries in the way business is co

摘要:

AbstractThis article discusses the primary arguments advanced in the debate in favor of and against the adoption of a qualified privilege to protect audit findings and explores various alternative incentives for promoting the practice of environmental health and safety auditing and for encouraging voluntary disclosure of audit findings to the regulators. This article also examines whether establishing a privilege provides the greatest motivation to auditing and disclosure, particularly in the context of EPA's recent reevaluation of its policy on auditing.

摘要:

AbstractAccording to Fortune, as of early 1995, some 4,000 companies have purchased Lotus Notes®, the premier entry in an emerging field of software known as groupware. For many companies making the commitment, installation of the software has meant significant capital expenditures as wide area and local area networks and client‐server hardware had to be installed to make effective use of Notes' capabilities nationwide and worldwide. A few companies are in the early stages of developing environmental, health, and safety management capabilities. At first blush, the EH&S audit document management process appears to be an ideal application for groupware. It is vitally important that audit tracking systems are put in place and operate effectively. This article shows how groupware can help to achieve this objecti

摘要:

AbstractFor most of its history of environmental protection, U.S. policy has concentrated on a pollution control strategy based on single medium emissions: air, water, or land. Efforts to mitigate environmental impacts to one medium often resulted in greater impacts to others. While much environmental improvement has occurred via this system over the last quarter‐century, it is generally recognized that alternative strategies which address environmental impacts across all media in an integrated manner will be necessary for continued improvement. Increasingly, regulatory strategies that result in only passive compliance will be insufficient to meet these demands. This article demonstrates why new strategies which encourage proactive behavior are necessary. A new framework for making strategic decisions—design for environment—concerning the relation between our actions and environment is necessary to ensure a sustainable f

摘要:

AbstractNiagara Mohawk Power Corporation (NMPC), an investor‐owned electric and gas utility operating in upstate New York, has incorporated environmental factors into several facets of its operations, including generation and transmission system planning and operations, system electric operations, and system gas operations. This article describes how NMPC has incorporated environmental considerations in its valuation of new and existing generation resources. What makes this effort unique is that not only are existing environmental regulatory requirements reflected in the planning process, but also prospective environmental requirements are incorporated. This article provides an overview of NMPC's generation valuation process and discusses how both existing and future environmental requirements are addresse

摘要:

AbstractEvery year I try to choose the “word of the year”—that is, the word that will be the most topical and overused in the news, politics, and business. Past “words of the year” were leadership, excellence, quality, and so on. This year's, without a doubt, must be values. Just listen to any political speech and you'll be sure to hear it! Magazine article after magazine article makes reference to values—family values, social values, public values, personal values, etc. Business is beginning to experience first‐hand the power of this word and the controversy it engenders, especially in the area of environmental issues.Corporations already heavily scrutinized by the public on operational issues like facility expansion, pollution, emissions, product acceptance, etc., are struggling to assess how best to manage competing public values. What do we do when the public has one value and business has another? Or, how can choices be made between two operating needs that compete for the same budget? It is the dilemma posed by values in conflict that this article explores. Once the domain of scholars and philosophers, this timely topic is now demanding the consideration and awareness of everyone in the b

摘要:

AbstractIndustrial Ecology is, thus far, the most plausible model for realizing the ideal of sustainability. It dispels the notion that the flow of resources can continue along a one‐way street from nature to mankind. Today, it is fairly well‐understood that economies and ecosystems are structured and operate in strikingly similar ways. Healthy economies and healthy ecosystems depend on elemental diversity and unencumbered interchanges. Yet, maintaining and sustaining both healthy economies and healthy ecosystems continue to be viewed as disparate goals. How can this unfortunate mind‐set be changed? The authors show how logistics engineering could be the best approach to implementing a two‐part solution to this environmental business co
