Protecting
our environment is, today, a primary concern of mankind. We can no
longer continue to exploit finite natural resources and no successful
enterprise can ignore environmental issues of local and regional concern:
air and water quality, waste, noise, traffic and the conservation of
nature, or those of more global concern such as climate change,
destruction of habitat and bio-diversity. Sustainable Development is
seen as the only rational approach to the continued creation of wealth and
prosperity.
A
complex and growing body of environmental legislation exists almost
world-wide. Compliance can be a difficult challenge for some
enterprises. Concerned environmentalists can expose poor
environmental performance with great effect and so test the sincerity of
an enterprise’s commitment to sustainability. Other, more subtle,
pressures are exerted by shareholders who may fear that environmental
liabilities will erode their assets. Today’s consumer choices may
be influenced equally by environmental ethics as by quality or price.
