Environmental
Management?
• Environment management puts in place strategies to conserve energy,
water and resources and to reduce negative impacts on the environment by
industrial activities. Read on for a description of environmental
management duties and information on how to become an environmental
manager.
• Environmental management is an interdisciplinary field that interacts with
business, science and law. This field involves understanding how business
strategies must change in the face of environmental constraints, the
principles of sustainable development and the growth and endorsement by
the public of green services and products. Environmental managers work
with a wide range of issues, including pollution prevention, waste
materials management, global warming, loss of biodiversity, land
degradation and the management of water and land resources.
Other areas of concern where environmental
management may operate include:
• Auditing of commercial and industrial facilities for compliance with
environmental regulations
• Managing issues involving the environment in a changing world (climate,
water and energy change)
• Developing strategies for waste reduction
• Overseeing opposing regulatory, legal, economical and technical concerns
• Monitoring water and air pollution and disposal of hazardous waste for
compliance with federal and state regulations
Environmental Management Systems
• This is the principle that tries to reduce or mitigate the pollution of the
environment by putting a cost on pollution. In this principle, the polluter
pays some fine to bear the cost of polluting the environment through the
different ways possible.
• This fine is not just compensation but an amount that can be used to
remedy the damage caused by the polluter to some extent.
User Pays Principle (UPP)
• This principle was drafted from the Polluter Pays Principle. The principle
states that “All resource users should pay for the full long-run marginal
cost of the use of a resource and related services, including any associated
treatment costs.”
• As one of the principles of environmental management, this principle sets
a cost for users of natural resources to pay for marginal environmental
damages or pollution which comes as a result of harvesting, using, or
utilizing certain natural resources, services, and treatment services.
The Precautionary Principle (PP)
