Environmental auditing is an emerging environmental management tool that
provides potential benefits to private industry, the public, and regulatory authorities as
well as to the environment. It is a rare convergence of private and public interests.
Corporations addressing the concerns of their stakeholders increasingly take
environmental issues into consideration. The public is demanding more transparency from
corporations and environmental audits are a necessary tool for corporations to do this.
Voluntary environmental audits, combined with an effective enforcement program to the
"command and control" legislation encourages corporations to seek pollution avoidance
rather than pollution control. It is the way of the future. Mandatory environmental audits
at this time would be short sighted and most probably counter-productive. Incentives and
the actual driving forces in the market will continue to make environmental auditing an
environmental tool of choice for forward looking corporations. === Law, Peter A. Allard School of === Graduate |
