Pressures and incentives for the adoption of cleaner production or pollution prevention processes by business have emerged from both inside and outside enterprises. Internally, the adoption of cleaner technologies may be driven by efforts to avoid the costs of waste management, to bypass the uncertainty of constantly changing regulations, and to position the firm as a "green " enterprise in the local, national, or global marketplace. Externally, corporate environmental performance is increasingly scrutinized by investors, financial advisors, regulatory bodies, host communities, and the public at-large. To satisfy these pressures, enterprises are examining and modifying managerial and external reporting processes in response to internal and societal environmental and social concerns. Environmental management accounting (EMA) is an essential business tool for creating internal demand in businesses for cleaner and less wasteful production processes. EMA changes the reasons why companies engage in pollution prevention activities from one of environmental concern or market access to one of engaging in pollution prevention activities purely because it makes good business sense and delivers immediate financial benefits. Though managerial accounting systems are traditionally viewed as matters internal to a firm, the potential social and environmental benefits resulting from widespread use of environmental management tools calls for active

Catchment management planning has progressed a long way in the past decade. The question on many peoples ’ lips is how individual farms relate to catchment health. This is unclear in many cases and relies on logic to make the links. Many people see environmental management systems as an important tool to help farmers contribute to catchment health. Does increasing the complexity of what is looked at in a farm business, or how it is done, improve the outcome in terms of catchment health? A trial involving the dairy industry is discussed in this paper.

Pursuant to I OCFR50.55a(g)(5)(iii), Vermont Yankee (VY) hereby requests approval to delay the repair of minor leaks on Reactor Building Recirculation Unit No. 8 (RRU-8) until the 2002 refuel outage. RRU-8 is a Safety Class 3 component that provides room cooling for Emergency Core Cooling System equipment located in the Reactor Building. The identified leaks have been evaluated and VY has concluded that the RRU remains capable of performing its safety functions. At present, the RRU is experiencing minor leakage and VY is monitoring the leakage during each shift. A mechanical device was not considered necessary to prevent further leakage and will not be installed at this time. Attachment I provides the information supporting this request. We trust that this information is adequate to support the requested action, however; should you need additional information please contact Mr. Jim DeVincentis at (802) 258-4236. Sincerely

The aim of this project is the creation, design and implementation of managed software with ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004, which will optimize the process of material resources department in the shopping area in Higher Education Institution. A study was conducted to identify the weaknesses of the department found that in filling the formats is done traditionally, with the result that it is susceptible to errors at the time of capture, the time spent is high paper costs and ink are unnecessary and also not have an effective management and control of the data required by the query difficult formats. The developed software covers the weaknesses found, and was implemented under tools provided by the Institute by making the cost of it is relatively minor compared to commercial software, and the software itself is administered with ISO quality and environment therefore is functional for both the Higher Education Institution to any Technology of Mexico. Based on the research results, the software will be implemented on a trial period of six months in the material resources department, in the shopping area in Higher Education Institution evaluate the results and to use the software for and care for the environment and be able to promote to the
