An Answer to the Need for Businesses’ Compliance with Green Demands – ECO-AUDIT

Integration of environmental policy objectives in middle of economic activities involves changing patterns of production and consumption. This change can be done by regulations, taxation, judicial decisions, demands from public etc. Involvement must come not only from the authorities and civil society, but also from economic environment implied. Environmental audit represents a stage in the voluntary diagram of management and environmental auditing, based on a harmonized EU scheme called EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme). Eco-audit represents a response to the need for monitoring and control the impact of economic activities on the natural environment.
