This Good Practice Guide is intended to help accountants and financial managers use environmental management accounting techniques to identify priority areas for cost-effective environmental improvement and increased profitability. Environmental management accounting involves identifying, analysing, managing and reducing the costs paid by businesses for materials, utilities and wastes in a way that can benefit both the business and the environment. Environmental management accounting can help businesses improve resource productivity and thus generate more profits (typically equivalent to 1 - 3% of business turnover). The Guide also includes worksheets and a worked example (GG374A).
