Standard progress

Article Abstract:

More Canadian organizations have become better informed about environmental management systems (EMS) as the number of those preparing environmental reports are also on the rise. These were the results of the 1996 KPMG Canadian Environmental Management Survey which seeks to determine how Canadian organizations manage environmental hazards. Although the 1994 survey revealed that only 2.5% of respondents have established an EMS based on the requirements of the British Standard BS 7750, the new survey showed that 15% claimed that an EMS is in place within their organizations.

Acceptance of recycling appeals: the moderating role of perceived consumer effectiveness

Article Abstract:

Researchers examining the effectiveness of two types of marketing message concerning recycling found that perceived consumer effectiveness (PCE) had an impact on results. An organisation wishing to promote recycling can stress either the benefits of recycling or the negative consequences of not recycling. Consumers with high PCE, that is, those who with a high level of confidence in the ability of consumers to change the environment, were more responsive to negatively-expressed messages.
