Abstract

In order to assist the analysis of sustainable business practices they are categorised as low pollution, low natural resource, mitigating, monitoring or palliative practices. It is suggested that policies to encourage sustainable business practices should be used dynamically. Policy instruments effected should be appropriate to the awareness, in industry and the market, of solutions to problems and issues. © 1997 John Wiliey & Sons, Ltd. and ERP Environment.
