Doreen wrote from Malta to ask about environmental management accounting: here are the links I found for her: Hello there Doreen, I put the phrase Management Environmental Accounting into Google and these are the kinds of things that it came back with. I hope these set you on your way. If you repeat this search you will find a lot of good corporate links to environmental reporting. From the Ricoh Group Environmental Accounting: this site if for the year 2001 and they have data for 2000, 1999 and 1998 at least, too. There is a lot of information on this page and could be a really good starting point for you. How about the Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) International Website? A lot of links here to articles and other sites. There’s a link down the bottom of the left hand side of the page to the ACCA Student’s Newsletter that has articles about environmental accounting: this is well worth a look … again, another really good starting point! There’s also links to the United Nations EMA working group, environmental management accounting research and information center (EMARIC), Take a look at this from Japan: ... some useful ideas on indicators for accountants and environmentalists. You have probably heard of the company Sharp, here’s their contribution to your assignment. This is another corporate site and it gives you a lot of data from their environmental accounting records. Go to the Environmental Management Systems Institute at the University of Florida. They provide a few useful looking links including “The Environmental Management Systems Alliance (EMS Alliance) is a business and industry/government/academic partnership that encourages networking and peer consultation with the goal of helping organizations develop or improve an environmental management system.”; and a number of other issues and organisations. They also provide a link to ISO14000. In case the ISO 1400x series is useful for you, go to ISO14000.org and see what you can find: including this link that tells you a lot about ISO 14001 … There you are Doreen. I think this will jump start your work very well. Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with and how you get on with your assignment. Best wishes DW
