Environmental Strategy For many businesses, there is little experience of how to treat environmental issues. Those companies affected by such regulation as IPPC permissions are used to Environment Agency inspection and the need to incur the costs necessary for continued operation. However, many are not used to the need to seek environmental permissions and still fewer see environmental issues as an opportunity as well as a cost. The spread of regulation in this area, the introduction of the Climate Change Levy and the prospect of mandatory emissions targets as well as congestion charges in the years to come, together mean that it is imperative that businesses of all sizes and types need to pay close attention to these issues. Whether you are large or small, in manufacturing or services, high tech or low tech, public concern about the environment and government reaction to it will affect you - and your share price.
