In addition, the work provides examples of three of Akzo Nobel Incorporated's manufacturing locations which have been registered to EMAS, providing examples of how to meet the requirements of the Scheme." "The target audience is threefold: first, environmental managers who are considering implementing EMAS in their firms, but who have little knowledge of the Scheme, will find the work highly useful. Secondly, university students, professors and programs who study environmental auditing as part of their coursework, and who are seeking a solid overview of the program may employ the text. Finally, verifiers in the countries which are recent additions to the EU may use the work to familiarize themselves with the requirements of the Scheme."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Print version record In Springer e-books Subject European Union SUBJECT European Union. cct European Union fast Subject Environmental policy -- European Union countries Environmental protection -- Standards -- European Union countries Production management -- Environmental aspects -- European Union countries SCIENCE -- Environmental Science (see also Chemistry -- Environmental) POLITICAL SCIENCE -- Public Policy -- Environmental Policy.
