Environmental Management -Back to Nature

Environment protection has become a very common subject of discussion all over the world. With the advent of liberalization, it has become essential to internalize the cost of environmental degradation in corporate accounts most successfully. Economic development without environmental considerations causes environmental crisis. As a consequence, it reduces the quality of life of present generation as well as future generation. As more corporate sectors in the global market especially in India are becoming anxious about environmental degradation, naturally more and more emphasis is being ascribed to environment-friendly outputs.

Environmental management deals with the different aspects of environment, its structure, function, its quality and its maintenance including conservation of its living and non -living components. The diversified natural resources on this earth provide the necessities for survival of all forms of life including man. Everything that comes from nature has some utility for man but its utilization is possible based on the availability of appropriate technology.
