This volume’s focus on the environmental accounting of supply chain processes is of particular relevance because these processes supply data about the environmental impact of relationships between business organisations, an area where the boundary separating internal and external accounting is ill-defined. Here, contributors advocate what they term ‘accounting for cooperation’ as a more environmentally positive complement to the paradigmatic practice of ‘accounting for competition’.

Sustainability requires companies to develop in an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable manner. Corporate sustainable development in turn requires movement towards cleaner production. In order to recognize the potential from cleaner production – reduced costs and fewer environmental impacts through the reduced use of materials – environmental management accounting (EMA) is a necessary information management tool. Environmental Management Accounting for Cleaner Production reveals a set of tools for companies to collect, evaluate and interpret the information they need to estimate their potential to use cleaner production to realize cost savings and to make the best decisions about the available cleaner production options. EMA is therefore the key for driving environmental progress, cost savings, increased competitiveness and corporate sustainability through the means of cleaner production.

This is the second book of selected papers on environmental management accounting (EMA) which has been developed for Kluwer by the Environmental Management Accounting Network - Europe (EMAN-Eu), drawn primarily from papers presented at EMAN-Eu, to bring together several examples of leading thinking and practice internationally in this rapidly developing area. The authors include academics, practitioners from industry, and government policy-makers, and the subjects covered range from individual company experiences to the role of government in promoting EMA in industry. The papers included in the book provide several examples of how EMA can be applied in practice both in large corporations and in small and medium-sized enterprises, and of reports on the extent of the implementation of EMA and the conditions which encourage this. The book is intended for all those interested in EMA as either researchers or practitioners. It will also be of interest both to those interested in how well-established management accounting methods can be adapted and extended in order to meet new demands on companies, and also to environmental managers interested in learning how accounting techniques can be of value in achieving environmental management objectives.

Environmental management accounting (EMA) has become an important management accounting tool due to its ability to provide accurate and relevant information pertaining to the environmental impact of the various activities of organizations. Many studies have been performed on EMA to examine various aspects, for example, implementation, measurement of environmental costs, link with information system and factors contributing to its adoption. However, the majority of the studies were performed on business organizations. The study on EMA in the services industry, particularly institutions of higher learning, is still lacking. The institutions of higher learning, with a large population and various activities, can have a substantial impact on the environment. Therefore, it is equally important to study EMA in the institutions of higher learning. The ability of EMA to provide relevant information pertaining to the environmental impact can enable the impact to be managed more effectively and possibly lead to cost savings. The current study, therefore, attempts to fill the gap by looking into EMA adoption in IIUM, one of the public universities in Malaysia. There are four objectives to the study. These are to assess the level of awareness of the university staff on environmental management, environmental accounting (EA) and EMA, to assess the need for the environmental cost information, to assess the extent of EMA implementation by the university and the perception of how the university should move forward in relation to the issues of EA and EMA. The theory used is the social issue lifecycle theory. The study uses a case study as the research method. The results reveal that there is a moderate level of awareness among the staff on EA and EMA. Staff indicate that they need the environmental cost information, both currently and in the future. Only minimal adoption of EMA by the university and staff has high perception that the university should disclose environmental information to the internal users.

Recent years have seen increasing pressures and incentives for the adoption of cleaner production processes and pollution prevention measures by industry emerging from both inside and outside of commerce. Internally the driver is to reduce the producers costs associated with waste and compliance with regulations. Externally the corporate environmental performance is increasingly scrutinised by investors, regulatory bodies, and the public at large. Some enterprises are reviewing and changing their management procedures in order to measure more accurately the costs of environmental impacts and the benefit of environmental protection. With increasingly tough environmental protection policies come steadily increasing business costs. Conventional managerial accounting systems do not adequately identify these costs, thereby complicating or preventing actions to reduce them. Environmental managerial accounting (EMA) covers a variety of techniques for identifying and measuring the full range of environmental costs. While managerial accounting systems are traditionally viewed as matters internal to a business, the potential public benefits that can result from their widespread adoption by corporations provide an incentive for an active government role in promoting such systems. This report presents the considerations from a series of United Nations sponsored expert meetings on how governments might promote and advance EMA.
