Spurred on by the repeated destruction of this environment, the international community has begun to pay more and more attention to the environment in general and the environmental effects of industry in particular. This book comprehensively covers the issues facing the modern environmental management of industry, making a significant contribution to the debates surrounding these issues. Written from an industrial policy perspective, "The Bottom Line" explores the key issues facing industrial environmental management, including: * the relationship between environmental legislation and new investments* international environmental pressures on South African exporters* environmental management of small and medium-sized enterprises* links between health, safety and the environment* the role of trade unions in environmental management* pollution inventories and other environmental information systems 606 $aIndustries$zSouth Africa 606 $aIndustries$xEnvironmental aspects$zSouth Africa 606 $aEnvironmental protection$zSouth Africa 615 0$aIndustries 615 0$aIndustries$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aEnvironmental protection 676 $a330.968 701 $aBethlehem$b Lael$0894957 701 $aGoldblatt$b Michael$0894958 712 02$aIndustrial Strategy Project. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910279586303321 996 $aThe bottom line$91999644 997 $aUNINA
