Environmental Accounting Project - U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Author:U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Description:The U.S. Environmental Accounting Project began in 1992, in response to concerns from outside stakeholders. These stakeholders believed that pollution prevention would not be adopted as the first choice of environmental management by industry until the environmental costs of non-prevention approaches and the economic benefits of pollution prevention could be seen by managers making business decisions. The mission is to encourage and motivate business to understand the full spectrum of their environmental costs, and integrate these costs into decision-making.
