    Environmental Management aims to create awareness about various aspects of our relationship with the environment and how development impacts the world we live in. It focuses on the framework that can be used to manage the ecological footprints left behind in the pursuit of development. This framework includes various practices that a business can adopt as part of its environmental management system such as greening different phases within its operations, obtaining environmental clearances, instituting an effective environmental management system, holding environmental audits and promoting environmental stewardship.

    Using cutting-edge pedagogy and real-life examples, Environmental Management discusses how organizations can pursue sustainable development while ensuring that the environment remains safe for the future generations. Students and practitioners will find the comprehensive and example-oriented treatment of the subject adopted in this book stimulating and rewarding.
