Pollution Prevention Initiatives

Course Description

This introductory course is intended to help defense and other public-sector organizations  find cost-effective pollution prevention initiatives by incorporating environmental costs into the business decision-making process. The resulting improved decision making reinforces the Total Quality Environmental Management (TQEM).  This is accomplished by improving the organization’s decisions on sustainable pollution prevention initiatives and other investment options by appropriately including environmental costs and savings for each option. 

Many parties with environmental responsibilities are turning to so-called environmental cost accounting approaches to improve their decision making. In fact, the U.S. government’s National Performance Review has recommended that all government agencies performing a capital budgeting analysis of potential investments should include environmental cost information for each option.
