ISO 14000 changes the way many companies approach environmental management and puts compliance into business terms that can't be ignored.

Chapters cover the field and scope of application, a review of ISO 14004, a guide to environmental management principles and supporting techniques, environmental management system specification, the auditing standards, accreditation bodies and registrars, and legal issues.
