Introduction
Rapid economic and industrial growth and increasing population and
urbanization have been causing severe environmental degradation and
pollution problems the world over including India.  We are facing an
unprecedented ecological challenge to develop a sustainable world
economy.  

However, awareness on the environmental concerns has been increasing in
India.  Industry is making efforts to adjust to new requirements and also to
acquire eco-friendly technologies.  It is realizing that economic development
and sound environmental management are complimentary aspects of the
same agenda.

With the concepts of sustainable production and consumption catching on
rapidly, corporate sector is increasingly incorporating the element of
environment preservation in its day-to-day business operations.  Industrial
houses are clear in their perception that, along with quality, environmental
safety is an important factor in making a business successful.
