Description

Management support can help overcome a number of cultural and organizational barriers that can hinder a pollution prevention program. The following are elements which historically have been used successfully to demonstrate management support to address such barriers:

Support by management at all levels, made evident to the organization.
A clearly-stated policy of top management support for pollution prevention, including the expectation that all levels of management will seek appropriate pollution prevention opportunities in their operations.
An elevated internal appreciation of environmental issues in general and pollution prevention in particular, by including these issues in the assessment of goals and the performance of operating organizations.
An employee recognition program to promote and reward new and innovative ideas that lead to pollution prevention.
Candor in dealing with internal and external perceptions and expectations regarding industry's environmental performance.
Recognition that actions of the government and the public are guided by a belief that industry should do much more to protect and improve the environment.
Recognition that more environmental regulations and restrictions may be tempered by voluntary actions on the part of industry.
