Theoretical and Practical Approaches to Environmental Performance

Abstract

Currently, governments, companies, communities and individuals are aware that environment needs more consideration and some investments should be done in protecting or restoring it. Most of these investments mean higher costs and lower profit for companies. In this paper we present the environmental performance measures taken by the company ENVIRON SA. The environmental policy of this company is established through the Environmental Management System set out in the Environmental Handbook. Analysing data of the company ENVIRON SA we found that the values of the indicators regarding the monitoring of waste management, conventionally clean wastewater discharged into the river and air environmental factors, register values of the period 2015-2017 that fall within the normal limits, which shows that Romanian companies make important efforts for realising an efficient environmental management.
