The responsibility to preserve the environment can no longer be seen simply as an obligation of the State. It is also the responsibility of the business sector, mainly for being a major cause of environmental degradation, to seek appropriate solutions to internalize the social and environmental costs generated by their production. In recent years there has been a growing adherence of businesses to voluntary instruments of environmental management within the European Union, especially with the adoption of systems such as EMAS and ISO 14000, which combine efforts to regulate even matters that are not included in the current environmental legislation.
