Voluntary Environmental Management (eBook, ePUB)

The Inevitable Future

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A shift from government oversight to private sector self-regulation appears to be the future of environmental management. This will be a complex and complicated transition, as individual companies attempt to balance their needs against that of the surrounding communities - and world. Voluntary Environmental Management: The Inevitable Future explores how business and industry are preparing for this dramatic shift in responsibility and accountability. John Morelli pinpoints companies that have already adopted environmental auditing and management tools; examines the deficiencies of government-imposed environmental regulations; and shows how businesses can become more proactive in monitoring and managing their environmentally affective activities. The role of global marketplace forces receives substantial emphasis in Voluntary Environmental Management: The Inevitable Future, especially in light of the widespread international acceptance of new ISO 14000 standards.

Autorenporträt

John Morelli is an Associate Professor and has served as Chair of the Department of Environmental Management & Technology at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in Rochester, NY, since 1991. He received a Ph.D. in Environmental Science and an M.S. degree in Environmental Resource Engineering from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, a B.S. in Engineering (Environmental) and Public Affairs from Syracuse University, and has been a Professional Engineer, registered in New York State, since 1984. Prior to his appointment at RIT, he served as Senior Project Manager in the NYS Energy Research and Development Authority (1986 to 1991) and was involved in developing innovative treatment technologies for landfill leachate and contaminated soils at industrial sites. He also did pioneering work in reclaiming landfills. From 1983 through 1986 he was employed by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and as a Senior Engineer held responsibility for remedial investigations and corrective actions at state and federal "superfund" sites. Dr. Morelli's current professional interests center around the inevitable need for increased individual responsibility for protection of our environmental, material, and energy resources. He views the recommendations made in this book as a necessary step in that direction.
