Abstract

Agri-food firms, as enterprises in any other sector, have a series of tools at their disposition, based on international standards, which may be useful for the purposes of environmental management. System standards (such as ISO 14001 for Environmental Management Systems) are the most widely used, but a more suitable approach to environmental quality management in the agricultural and agri-food sectors is probably one based on using direct means of ensuring the environmental performance of products. In this chapter, new approaches centred on the product-orientation of environmental management systems are presented, also investigating their role in the improvement of economic and competitive performance. Finally, the path towards the definition of a Product-Orientation of Environmental Management Systems (POEMS) framework, specifically tailored to companies operating in the agribusiness sector, is described.
