Environmental Law for Directors & Senior Managers
In two recent surveys commissioned by ARENA and conducted by MORI, the need to comply with environmental legislation has been recognised as by far the greatest driver for environmental improvement.
For companies committed to improving their environmental performance and moving towards best practice, it is imperative that directors and senior managers have a clear understanding of the legislation which affects their business.
