ESS Approach to Environmental Accounting

* Environmental management and accounting should be integrated in the core business of organisations.
* Environmental accounting should support the cost-effective implementation of environmental compliance and management in organisations.
* The benchmark for the generation of waste and pollution should be zero waste.
* In order to really make a difference towards a more sustainable society, organisations should fundamentally and transformationally rethink their processes. This will provide first-mover leadership benefits.
* All of us have a stewardship responsibility regarding the use of the earth and its resources, and the implications thereof on the people.
