Abstract :
Conforming to environmental legislation and meeting the demands of the green lobby present major challenges to business and industry today. New technologies and a new industrial revolution come with impacts upon the environment and public health. This paper looks at the reasons why organizations globally are considering environmental issues, differences in the environmental planning, and the differences in approaches. Indeed, one can observe that not all countries have the same depth of regulatory controls and awareness
