Abstract

The importance of environmental management has long been recognized and has, among other things, resulted in a number of national and international recommendations and guidelines for sustainable business practice. However, although several examples of the actual implementation of environmental management initiatives have been reported, there is little evidence available for an evaluation of the general situation. This is also true for Denmark. A survey was therefore carried out to obtain some knowledge of the extent and nature of environmental management practice in Danish manufacturing companies. Some of the general results indicate a situation where the major driving factor is legislation and where only a few companies have formulated a general environmental policy and written internal environmental guidelines. Many companies have established practical steps in improving their environmental situation, but mainly because of the cost‐saving effects. Only a limited number of companies have introduced techniques which can help to monitor and control the environmental situation and development.
