  • Environmental Management Accounting: Policies and Linkages
    E C O N O M I C & S O C I A L F R Environmental Management Accounting: Policies and Linkages UNITED NATIONS, New York, 2001 PREFACE 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 governmental involvement in promoting such systems. Government policies can play an important role in encouraging and motivating businesses to adopt environmental management accounting systems as a part of rationalizing a firm's managerial accounting practices so that all project and decision costs (including social and environmental ones) become fully inventoried, properly allocated, and integrated over the life of an investment.

  • Full Cost Accounting and Social Environmental Effects on Global Warming Phenomenon
    Accounting and Management Information Systems Vol. 8, No. 4, pp. 567 – 588, 2009 FULL COST ACCOUNTING AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ON GLOBAL WARMING PHENOMENON Cornelia DASC ĂLU 1, Chira ţa CARAIANI, Raluca GU ŞE, Camelia Iuliana LUNGU & Florian COLCEAG The Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies, Romania ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is a critical analysis of current knowledge in the field of accounting recognition policies and procedures as well as social and environmental reporting, leading to a conceptual clarification of externalities induced by global warming effects. We propose a review of FCA – Full Cost Accounting literature that allows the conventional costing model to expand to an eco-costing model able to generate costs that are compatible with the sustainable development objectives. The study represents a fundamental inductive research, using qualitative methods to identify the theoretical and practical difficulties of externalities recognition in social and environmental accounting. Thus, a pertinent knowledge base on externalities will emerge, in order to incorporate external costs into the conventional accounting model. Global warming, externalities, full cost accounting, social and environmental accounting model, stakeholders INTRODUCTION The present global economy is governed by market forces that do not generally uphold ecological principles. Prices include accounting information designed as an expression of economic reality, ignoring the environmental impact and therefore generating decisions that are in

  • Environmental Impact Assessment: a Multi- Level, Multi-Parametric Framework for Coastal Waters
    M. Lega, et al., Int. J. Sus. Dev. Plann. Vol. 13, No. 8 (2018) 1041–1049 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT: A MULTI- LEVEL, MULTI-PARAMETRIC FRAMEWORK FOR COASTAL WATERS M. LEGA1, M. CASAZZA1, R. TETA2 & C.J. ZAPPA1,3 1 Department of Engineering, University of Naples “Parthenope”, Naples, Italy. 2 Department of Pharmacy, University of Naples “Federico II”, Naples, Italy. 3 Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University, Palisades, New York, USA. ABSTRACT In any process of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) a key role is played by the action of moni- toring. Indeed, the acquisition of real field data provides the evidence of the environmental status and identifies hazards and sources of pollution. When environmental pollution is revealed, it is important to identify the source following the source-path-target model. However, when monitoring operations are planned, often the three-dimensional (3D) nature of monitored hotspots is neglected. Instead, infor- mation can be gathered through a multi-parametric, multi-level framework, which combines multiple disciplines and generates correlations between several data sets acquired in the analysed scenario. This novel new framework is named MuM3, meaning that the proposed Monitoring (M) is Multi- Disciplinary, Multi-level and Multi-parametric (i.e. Mu) and it is developed in all the three dimensions of physical space (the superscript ‘3’). This paper outlines the implementation of this framework. In particular, monitoring polluted coastal waters refers to one of the critical areas identified by EIA regu- lations. The framework incorporates different spatial scales of observation (Levels) and the potential sensors that can be used at each Level.
